I have an analog scale. You can calibrate (adjust the pointy thing to match 0 exactly) when used on surfaces you feel may be slightly uneven. My roommate has a digital, specifically a digital Weightwatchers scale (she works and as a job with Weightwatchers over here)

So I calibrate my analog scale every time. And it always gives me a lower weight number than the digital.

HOWEVER!

So I know it’s best to weight yourself in the morning.
When I weighed myself this morning after ‘cough, y’know… business with John’, I’m at 191.4 lbs. My analog was .9 lbs lower from the digital scale.

I had 4 eggs and made one potato into hash browns. I don’t eat lunch really besides an apple (medication I take suppresses my appetite) I eat a normal portion dinner. When I weight myself later in the evening I weigh, a face slapping, 6 lbs more on the DIGITAL scale and 1 lb more on the ANALOG from the morning weight in. I’m aware water weight and food intake makes a difference when weighing oneself.

But come on, it’s my 7 year old red dusty analog vs. the sparkly digital Weightwatchers scale.

The weightwatcher digital has something where you can plug in your sex, height, age…
Also on the bottom, right under the screen that tells you your weight, in fine white print it says, BF weight, BF%, Body Water, Bone Mass. I can’t figure out how to activate it? Or is it already calculating it when I weight myself?

Which one is fooling me?
