See thats mostly why i was so suprised. I was expecting a bigger number then my home scale, not smaller. But my home scale is an older digital one, that is currently being kept n an unused refrigerator n the garage, sideways. I also didnt take my shoes or sweatshirt off when i weighed n at the docs office which should have made the number even bigger.. im just hoping fats wont invade the scale industry like they have the clothing industry.
