Just purchased some ww scales to um.. Take on holiday lol ( technically to weigh cases on way back) testing them against my scales with 4 bottles water 6.3kgs (my scales) ww scales 6.3kgs so are the same .. Right my turn my scales 87.4 (clothes on) ww scales 88kg.. What the??? Check water bottles again exactly the same weight both scales, but the WW scales say I'm 88kgs and mine say 87.4kgs. Grrr. Will take them back and try again.. weird!

I have 3 scales and they all weigh slightly differently. I think the difference is less noticeable on smaller things which is why you're seeing a difference.

If you have a calculator divide 88 by 87.4 to see how much 'over' the WW scale is (1.00686 = 0.7% over). Then multiply the result (the 1.something) by 6.3. You'll see that the answer is still 6.3something because 0.7% difference isn't noticeable on the smaller weight.

I agree it's annoying though but think this is all we can expect of scales that are affordable!

Humph! I have tried 3 sets of scales all are useless! Last one makes me 85.6 - thanks but I know I'm not that weight lol with my clothes on I'm 87.4 move it to the bathroom and I'm 89.9 can't win!

Hmmm yes will do, but am trying to buy some scales for my OH family and will be taking them on holiday .. Weigh me and suitcases And of course my OHs family! So really do want them to work properly!! I've ordered 2 more to try lol before I give up the idea lol

 

[Lexie2005]

As plumfoodie said its cos they won't pick up on smaller weights such a small difference.... Either way I agree it's the same scales in the same place!!!!!

 

[Mis-behave]

I can't not weigh for a whole mth!! I know that my scales are accurate as proved by weighing bottles of water on each scale, but when it's me it all different weights on the news scales I've tried! My scales weigh way too much to put in my case lol otherwise "have scales and will travel with them"

My WI in tomorrow will be with my scales in the normal place! My scales are camry scales - got free worth £60- £100 a few years ago...

I'm just frustrated that normal standard scales are so rubbish!

 

[Lexie2005]

See my salter ones are great, yes they were 800g different to docs but always 800g different so I was happy they were accurate.

Are you worried that without scales you'll fall spectacularly off the wagon with a double forward flip thrown in for good measure? I take it your phone ain't gonna work in Albania for us to try & keep you accountable for the month. Have you no xen at all you can take with you?

What date do you go?

 

[toofatkat]

My salter MiBody ones are brilliant . No two sets of scales are going to be identical ever! Even at docs where they have the same make of scale in each consulting room and they get calibrated annually. They all weigh me differently. As I found out the first time I got weighed. We had to use all of them and come up with an average

I go next Thursday for 31 days.. OH is only coming for 2 weeks then back to work - we are staying with his family. No xen down here.. I generally loose weight anyway as not many processed foods - mostly fresh stuff, not much meat, but plenty fresh baked bread, but they cook with lots oil, am taking my food doctor porridge and fry light spray lol - will be HOT!! 35+ it's also not being weighed for that length of time - weighing myself helps keep me in check and gives me a wake up call if I end up bingeing for too long no phone contact, and limited Internet access ., no logging MFP either sob sniff!! Lol will be weird!!

I just know now that bread makes me bloat, but when that's what you have at every meal - it will be hard - maybe the fresh baked bread will not make me bloat as no extra added stuff in it.. I can only hope

Did 60 min kettlercise class - feels good, just hope the exercise tonight doesn't effect my WI tomorrow fingers crossed I get the same or lower than I did this morning!!

 

[Mis-behave]

Also didn't eat after my work out, so will be interesting to see how hungry I am today., as before I used to go crazy for toast lol

Am thirsty today, and def more hungry this morning.. So already today have drunk 1.5l water and added an egg and piece of bacon to my normal food doctor seeded porridge.. Might have to have an apple too

I know you're not looking forward to the food part of it but look on this as an excellent opportunity to wean the kids of their addiction mcd's for when you get home.
. I did it years ago . It doesn't matter how much they like them they aren't good for them as they're so full of sugar. That's the additive part. Then you won't feel the need to eat something yourself. Although when I did it I would just have a drink or the grilled chicken salad instead.

It's funny all they really like are the toys.. Normally they don't eat all the happy meal which I'm ok with! Sometimes it's the easiest option when I'm rushing about getting bits and bobs from the shops - I give the kids double veg for dinner and MAKE them eat it lol
