I consider my home scale right. It's a good scale, and I weigh myself in the morning, without clothes. That's probably a little obsessive, but I want to know if I've gained anything! I'm so worried about gaining this weight back. The other places, you are wearing clothes and shoes, and you may have eaten or drank before getting on those scales. That can all affect the reading.

Use your home scale as Linda said. It is important to judge from the same scale as to weight gain or lose. Even if the scale is off the lbs it is off remains constant over your entire weight. Hope that didn't confuse you. E

2 Chronicles 16:9
For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. Herein thou has done foolishly: therefore from henceforth thou shalt have wars.

I usually change my ticker based on my surgeons scale BUT I'm starting to use my home scale as "the scale" because like Linda said it weighs me in all my glory first thing in the morning after using the restroom before putting anything in my stomach with nooo extra pounds for my clothes and and shoes and what not therefore it is more accurate to an extent to my "true" body weight.
