Speaking of water weight - I've recently weighed myself in the morning and now just in the afternoon. There is THREE pound difference. And here I thought I was so close to making it past my goal weight :(

It is funny but I just bought a digital scale and my weight was off by four pounds...and not in my favor either. {{{Yikes}}} As that is the scale that I will be using the whole way through...I just decide to go with it. All the best to you.

I had two scales for a while and the weights were never the same. I guess it depends on how it calibrates when it is turned on.
