What scale would you trust more lol

So I have a digital scale in our upstairs bathroom, and a regular one with the pin that tells you where you are. The one at the gym is one they use at the doctor.

The digital says I'm 127. In one spot. Then I'll move it n it says 130.

The gym says m 138. Where I was last September when I started to try to lose weight.

The one with the pin says I'm 120.

Hmm. 10 to 18 is a big difference lol, I feel a lot better lately and my blood sugar has been better, so I really wanna go with the pin scale haha

Which one would you trust? I'm def not 138, there's no possible way bc my jeans that I couldn't get up my leg this summer are now loose on me. My fh said the gym scale is rigged so it makes you look heavier so you go tobthe gym more n feed them money. Never bought of it that way lol he could be right.

If I'm 120, that means I lost 18 lbs since September!! And that I'm five lbs away from my goal!! With four months left. I otta be strict!

Can you put something with a set weight on each scale to see which one is correct?

Like put 2 10lb weights on them and see which is the closest to 20

that's a great idea, I'm going to do that too since the scale at work weighs me heavier than the one at work that we use for biggest loser

my scale at home does this, if its not set exactly on the tile, its a difference of like 8 lbs!

def do a control test to see, with a barbell or something.
