Last time he weighed me, I had shoes on too but they were sandals and very thin. I was only wearing a tank top, sports bra and shorts/underwear. This time, since it's winter here, I was wearing a bra, a shirt over the bra, a heavy sweatshirt over the shirt, underwear, jean pants and 2 inch heels that on my scale at home, weigh three pounds. So when he said I gained 6 pounds, I was like da fuq? I mentioned how I was wearing 2 inch heels and his reply was, "I doubt they weigh much. Everyone weighs in with clothes and shoes on" So I said, "but I didn't gain weight, I know I didn't. You're weighing my heavy clothes. That's sick how now I'm marked as overweight just because of my clothes" and he said, "relax, it's not that much. maybe 2 pounds are clothes, I'll mark you two pounds lighter"

WTF. IIN?!

    Your weight can fluctuate up to 5 lbs on a daily basis, depending on the time of day you weigh yourself, whether or not you are full if poop, pee, food, water, whether or not you are wearing clothes, etc. etc.

    I wouldn't be concerned about it. If you're trying to keep track of your weight, you should weigh yourself at the same time every day...like right after you wake up in the morning.

    I feel like you are way more concerned about this than you should be. Your medical records are completely confidential. Nobody would know except for you and your doctor if you didn't say anything.

      I don't think so. How do you think Americans are obese? THE DOCS reveal this info! They'll mark me as overweight in the database!!

    Your scale at home isn't necessarily accurate.

    And you are kind of freaking out over nothing. 6 pounds doesn't not make you overweight. Hell, i fluctuate as much as 5 in a given day. Careful with the number obsession, you sound like an eating disorder waiting to happen.

    Don't worry about it. If you gain 50 lbs then worry

    Get a scale and weigh yourself after waking up in the morning.

    Umm... I also dont think you were wearing 6 pounds extra worth of clothing.

    However it could be maybe a little bit with the clothing... depending on if you had a full stomach as well.
    Ether way its nothing to be too concerned about....you worry too much. This much worry over a few pounds can be very unhealthy.

        Yeah that can add to it.
        try not to eat before the appointment... eat after it. Or give yourself time to digest your food before you go.

        But dont stress too much over a little amount of weight. I think only start to worry if your going up sizes in your clothing
