Two scales giving totally different reads?

[Deleted User] · 2015-04-29 15:00:20

The scale in my gym says that I weigh 13 stone, yet when I try to weigh myself using one at home, it says I weigh 14 stone. Is it possible to have such a difference between the two?

Yes. One may not be calibrated correctly.

There's often a difference between two but usually not as much as a stone.

Are you weighing yourself with shoes and clothes on at both locations?

Maybe the gym scales has been zeroed to allow for clothing.
