Why are doctor's scales always 10 or so pounds above home scales?

For one thing, at the doctor's office, you are fully clothed when they weigh you.  Most people don't weigh in at home fully clothed.  Also, at home, most people weigh themselves first thing in the morning, without eating or drinking.  Once you eat and drink, that shows up as additional pounds, too.  Plus, the doctor's scales are used by so many patients and not calibrated frequently.  All those factors add weight.

Not sure what your question is asking, and what do you consider "fat".  Some people call it anything over 10 pounds over their "ideal weight", while others go with that table made by doctors to calculate how much they should weigh.  They also go by BMI.\n\nThere are many reasons why people gain weight.  THe most common reason is overeating.  The reasons for that vary from sadness, anxiety, stress, illness, hunger but not knowing or recognizing when to stop, lack of exercise, lack of nutritional information, finances.  I believe majority of it though is mental driven and the inability to quit, even though they should.\n\nThe same can be said for those who lose weight.

How tall are you? As far as I'm concerned, 111 is a fine weight.\n\nOh boy, you're right. You do need help! But not the kind you think.

The number is always going to be accurate as long as your scale is accurate, no matter what time of day you weigh yourself.  However, you should weigh yourself at the same time of day each time you weigh yourself to have a more accurate comparison.  In the morning is best because you haven't eaten anything in a while or had anything to drink.  You usually weigh the least in the mornings so that's always a plus.

Ask a doctor to check your BMI (body mass index)or look it up on line. It is a tool used to tell what you should wieght. Personally I don't think that it is very accurate, however most doctors still use it.

some people are just thin.....you should ask your doctor if you are at a healthy weight....he/she can probably tell more by looking at you than someone could over the computer......your frame size and fat percentage are big factors

I think the same way about myself. I used one of those BMI calculators, and it said that my weight is perfect. The thing is, those BMI calculators are not really accurate, because everyone has different bone structure. The best way to know if you are overweight, and how much, is to visit your physician. :-)

Most likely depending on the iron, they're all different...\n\nYou can buy a scale at the Golf Works...

I wish the scale in the fitness center would email me an updated chart of my body mass index whenever I stepped on it.   It would be best if it would recognize me by swiping a card or keytag, like.

The previous answerer has the right idea but the wrong details.\n\nThe four parts should weigh 1, 3, 9 and 27 pounds.  The logic is that the desired weight is written in "balanced ternary" notation, where the values of the digit positions are 1, 3, 9, 27, 81, . . . (that's "ternary"), but the allowed digit values instead of being 0, 1, 2 (that's regular ternary) are -1, 0, 1 (that's balanced ternary).  Then the digit values for any desired total weight written down in balanced ternary tell you whether the weight for that column is to go in one pan, go in the other pan, or stay on the floor.

I am going to offer a different aspect to this. I am wondering if you gained a pound and wodnering why it happened? I may be wrong, but here goes. Your weight can fluctuate naturally due to things like water weight, and 1 pound in a day could be just that. Or if your scale is one that rounds, it may be not a full pound, but it rounded up to one.

No one has an average weight no matter what your doctor says. Most doctors say that you should weigh 115 or somewhere around there but this isn't always right. Its about what you eat, how much you eat, and how often you eat it. Sometimes it doesn't matter how much and what you eat your body shape willl be what it is eat to be if you stress alot, over-eat, lack exercise, and also what your families body composition is like. My mother's side of the family is wide hips, big boobs, and big ass but that doesn't mean that I inherited all those things from my mother.  My father's side of the gene pool is slim, trim, tall and thin, which I am not but still I don't always believe that anyone has an average weight because no one is made the same. Even if they be twins, triplets or setuplets!\nBe happy with who you are and not worry about your looks all the time! Looks aren't everything.
