I'm a normal weight anyway, so it's not like I have gargantuan rolls of fat such that I wouldn't notice losing.

If you are using the same scale and its reading of your weight doesn't strike you as wildly inaccurate, then the difference between the two measurements is probably also reasonably accurate.

@OP
Once at Frys to pick up a batch of cables n stuff I hit the scale Isle and put 7 or 9 models on floor and most showed a very different number. The one I bought matched my Docs office scale and that is how I selected it.
Got it home and hit doc office which is 5 mins away just to weigh in and then verified my scale is spot on.

Do you weigh at the same times of day? Can you check at a more accurate scale, like at a grocery store?

I am obsessive compulsive about how I weigh in. Its after waking up wit a full bathroom break in total. On scale n birthday suit. I then usually spend 2-3 hours each morning Surfing my Ocean a Blue.
Only Triple Espresso to start my Surf morning and on return b4 doing anything I weigh myself in AGAIN. Y? So as to be sure I take in enough water to prevent dehydration which is a problem for me in particular.

I may play around on MC on occasions but honestly, I do want to be more helpful and when in Syntax MODE 100% Honest. So ya all please call me on this statement in future, because I am not trying to be anything but honest/helpful/ except of course when just playing around which should be 20% or so by comparison.

Stand on one leg, if your weight halves then you know the scales are accurate.

> your awesome syntax!!
Well I just got out a meeting with former employeer of decade ago and now client. Butttthurt over my jacking up of Consulting fees. Deal is that if anyone were to look at how many EXTRA Billions of Cold Hard Cash in Bank and I mean Billions n Billions of Money just sitting around n too boot they have taken value worth lead over Intel of all the fucking wot the Hell. I have stock in both companies nor can I dump the Intel at momento.
So I knew going in2 meeting that with a gaggle of QCOM Corporate attorneys and CPA's and managers including a couple that used to report to me and even one I hired --- They wood make me do the danze to prove my worth to jack up next years rates. I hate just hate having to prove my own worth in a presentation when I damn well know they already know the bottom line and have to be willing to pay me even when its so small compared to excess Billions but that is business. Its so much better then a Move studio head n CEO of Universal/MCA told me and he meant it - You want more money then YOU simply cut your own deals as any producer wood and earn your keep no matter how much you want you can have it IF IF You just make lots n lots more money for company.
Then he threw a HUGE GIANT HEAVY QUARTZ ASHTRAY AT ME ....I Ducked and it imbedded itself in the door to room and hung just sticking out. Other holes with evidence that this was a normal thing.
I never made a killing money wise there directly because I chose to reinvest the winnings in2 growing the new venture/invention. Others wood have taken the money and run.
I got my do but many years later re special issued stock but that was many years later.
Bottom line was TODAY I was abused n used but fed well and we all shared some mighty expensive Champagne at end and THEY THOUGHT I was paying for it lol
I excused myself for bathroom and left them stuck with check which I preplanned.
One day a few months from now they will laff at todays event or maybe they are laffin at me for not asking for even more money? The art of negotiation I used to be great at but lost my chops me thinks.
