Weight Loss and Doctors Scales...GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

[Guest guest]

With this ganglion cyst on the bottom of my foot and in between my

2nd and 3rd toes I cannot do aerobics and run on the treadmill...

On my Weight watchers scale I am 185 and holding... Then I go to

doctor about this ganglion cyst in my foot...Of course they weigh

me...I weighed with clothes on before I went to be sure..

I about passed out at the doctors office !!! The scale said 195

....10 pounds more than my scale at home.!!!! I was so upset!!!!!I

asked the tech the last time they calibrated their scale..he didn't

know...Then I told him when i come back I will bring my 10 pound

weight that i calibrated my weight waters scale with to see if theirs

is even correct...

For a year I was so proud to have lost 20 pounds and had 30 to go...

THEN my weight watchers group informs me that doctors don't pay

attention to the maintenance of their scales..It is just not a

priority and most are NOT correct... I said it is when it's documented

in my health records......

Now a days over weight people are turned down for surgery on their

hips and knees when they have not made any successful attempts to lose

the weight first...

anyone else experience weighing on your acale and then going to

the doctors office for the 10 pound gain on their scales???
