Hi all. I try to watch my weight . I have a disability which makes walking difficult. However I went for a mental health wellbeing appointment at the doctors. I got weighed and i was amazed I was a stone lighter than i though. I have mechanical older scales at home which show 14 stone . I was actually 12 stone 13 lb at the doctors I feel ill go with the Doctors scales because they collaborate them yearly. It was a nice surprise I still can't believe it.

Hi logic99 and welcome to our weight loss support community. Scales can be fickle at the best of times. You don't mention how many times a year/month you go to your doctor's, I prefer to check my weight once a week. Could you 'invest' in a modern set? Or take some measurements, waist, hips bust and check those instead of weighing.

This is the link to our pinned posts where you'll find everything that we have to offer. The Daily Diary and Weekly Weigh in are good places to begin.
