I started my tablets 3 weeks ago and was weighed fully clothed at the nurse's office. I was 73kg on her scales (which works out at 160lbs) but on the same day I had weighed myself at home and I was 155lbs. Been weighing myself every week and in my first week lost 7lbs but have put back on a couple of lbs. I weighed myself this morning and I was back up at 150lbs. Weighed at the docs and she said 66kgs which is 145lbs. I weigh myself naked at home before I eat and after the loo, and at the docs I was fully clothed. I don't know what to believe!

    Well I would definitely go with the doctors for 2 reasons: 1) doctors scales are invariably right and 2) as far as she is concerned you have lost 15lbs - which is flippin' brilliant. So my advice: stop weighing at home and leave it to the nurse. Well done honey. X
