I know weighing yourself with clothes on adds weight but I am ALWAYS 8 pounds heavier at the doctor. 8 pounds. Ugggh. I only had on skinny jeans, toms, undergarments and a t-shirt yesterday so that's maybe a pound extra??
What about you? The same on all scales?

Never. I'm always a good 5 pounds heavier at the doctor's. Some of it is because I weigh myself at home in the AM right when I get up and with no clothes on!

Nope. On a good day, I'm only 2-3 pounds heavier at the doctor's. But maybe that's because I only weigh myself naked at home immediately after I've emptied my bladder...

I was shocked yesterday when I went to the dr. and was the exact same weight as at home!

I also weigh myself before breakfast, naked and with an empty bladder but is that reeeaally an eight pound difference?! I want to say the nurse isn't taking her time. Haha.

I'm always the same. However, at home I way myself in the afternoons only and with all my clothes on.

I'm usually 2-3 pounds heavier at the doctor. I make all of my appointments for morning though and don't eat breakfast until after.

About 1-2 pounds heavier on the doctor's scale, but I take off my shoes and jewelry, and intentionally wear light clothing. Sad, right?

@shinymama: Lol I do the same! I leave my jewelry in my purse until after the weight check and I always take off my shoes!

I can't even recall the last time I was weighed at the doctor's office, definitely not during either pregnancy though. I weigh myself first thing in the morning though so I'm sure I'd be heavier at the doctor's office.

I don't own a scale! My doctor always asks me how much I weigh, and I have to use his scale to find out...and I weigh myself fully clothed, usually with boots on at his office.

Way heavier at the doctor! When I was pregnant and going to the weekly check ups at the end, the first thing I did was step on my scale when I got home. I always "lost" at least 5 pounds!

Usually just 2-3 lbs - but I weigh myself at home naked so that seems right

I don't have a scale at home but I do have one at work (weird, right?) and I am usually about the same in both places.

I don't weigh myself regularly, but I'm always a few pounds heavier at the doctors.

I'm always at least 5lbs heavier at the dr office, maybe more depending how recently I ate.

Never the same. The doctor's scale is usually 4-5 lbs off. It drives me crazy!

I'm always at least 3 to 5 lbs. heavier. Its so annoying! I practically strip naked in the doctors office before they weigh me too...Seriously...I make them wait while I take off everything I can!

Nope! I'm like 5-6 lbs heavier on the scale at the doc's office. But at home I always weight myself first thing in the morning with little to no clothes on. At the doc's office it is usually afternoon so I have had breakfast + lunch + 2-3 glasses of water, and I'm always wearing jeans. It's annoying but I go by my scale at home.

I'm so happy I'm not alone in this! My doc's scale always shows me about 7 lbs heavier. I blame it on the fact that at home I weigh first thing after morning pee, naked, before eating while at the doctor I've usually just downed a huge late lunch and got my work suit or something heavy on.

I think I'm the odd man out but I always weigh 1-2 pounds LESS on the doctors scale. Anyone want a recommendation?

Happy to see this thread - it is nice to know that I am not the only one. I am usually 5-7 pounds heavier. I suspect it's because, like a lot of the other ladies, I weigh myself first thing in the morning with an empty stomach and bladder. It's so hard not tell the nurse "I was lighter at home this morning, I swear!"
