Well done Kimmy :) Did you weigh yourself early in the morning ? 

No i weighed when i went to gym after work. Does it make a difference? 

Yes. Your body can get heavier during the day after consumption of foods/liquids. The best time to weigh is about 30 minutes after waking up in the morning and using the loo. Please weigh yourself tomorrow and record your weight again. I am also weighing tomorrow morning :) 

Im not sure if my scale at home is accurate thats why i weigh at the gym 

As long as you use the same scale, your readings will be consistent. I bought a digital bathroom scale from Clicks. All scales are not calibrated the same so can vary a bit. 

If i remember i will weigh tomorrow morning on my scale at home, then again on sunday morning when i go to the gym 

Use the same scale for your official weigh-ins otherwise they wont be consistent. Every bit counts to us :D 

Ok will weigh in on sunday morning as i never eat before gym on a sunday 

Sorry to be a pain Kimmy,I hate to seem like a dictator but rather keep track of weight on a home scale in case you have days where u cant get to the gym and that will upset your weigh-in consistency. Hope u dont mind my advice :) 

I weighed myself on my home scale and my weight was 0.70 heavier. Maybe i should just get a new scale as i have had that one forever lol 

I must say one thing about weighing at the gym every weekend is that it does force me to go over a weekend.  

I also weight at the gym and I force myself to go once a week in the morning to weigh in I also feel their scale is more accurate. I mostly weigh in the evenings at the gym and in the mornings at home. I know I am not suppose to weigh so frequently but it helps me see if I vary to much I keep in a range or 60.6 and 61.4 so if I go over I know I have to do something. LOL 

Many factors can influence your scale readings. Did you consume anything before using your home scale as opposed to before using the gym scale? Did you weigh yourself at home then go immediately to gym and weigh yourself there without consuming anything? If you get a new scale don't buy that one that tells you your body fat percentage. Those functions are inaccurate. A basic digital bathroom scale is best. It's important to have a consistent practice in recording your weight otherwise the temporary food/water weight in your body will confuse you with it's fluctuating readings.
