+1. I know that I weigh more on my doctor's scale than I do at home, and I weigh less on my father's scale than I do at home. So I figure it's not too far off in general terms.

And I also step on and off a couple of times each morning to make sure I don't get some freakish reading one way or the other. Any sort of consistent reading is good enough for me.
