But most doctor's offices calibrate their scales or get new ones, since an accurate weight is crucial to the medical process. Then again, it also depends on waht you're wearing. I know when I weigh myself at home I'm usually wearing light pajamas or shorts and a t-shirt, and then when I go out I usually wear like jeans and a sweatshirt, which of course are a lot heavier, and it can add several pounds, so perhaps you were just wearing heavier clothes than you normally would to weigh in, or your home scale is off.
