Re: Doctor's Scales Wrong? -

Hey there Celine,
Basically the reason for this difference is that you may have been losing fat during your weight loss regime but you could have gained muscle. Muscles are more dense than fat so will increase your weight without making you look obese. For this reason weight measurements and BMI aren't always accurate for everyone. If you've been taking measurements as well then this should show where the weight loss has been so pay more attention to that rather than what the scales say.
There's also the fact that individual scales will show different readings which could further cause a difference in your weight measurements.
Honestly, the best thing to do is try to pay little attention to the numbers but focus on what you look like instead. Get to a point where you're happy with how your body looks rather than what the scale says. I hope this helped
