My scale is possessed!!

I got on the scale this morning and it read 209.5...hmmm!!! Yesterday it said 204.. No way I gained 5.5 lbs overnight. So I got on it again and it read 205.. Okay I can live with that..nothing unusual to go up a lb. Just out of curiosity, I got on again and it read 208.. something fishy is going on here.. so I got on again and it read 203.5.. Hey I like that one... so I did not push my luck and get on it again. Do you all think my scale is bad or does it have to do with the way you are standing on it or something?? It hasn't done this before that I am aware of. I guess I better invest in a new one just to be sure... I hope it reads 203 and not 209!!

I had a scale like that and I ended up returning it. However, it could maybe be the battery dying...have you checked that? Christy

Mine's crazy too! I usually just pick the number I like the best I guess I really should buy a digital, but whenever I weigh at the doctor's office, it's always within a pound or so of my scale, so I guess I'm pretty close overall. Lisa G

Something could be wrong with the scale, but keep checking it. Also you should always weigh yourself in the morning after you go to the bathroom and before you eat. That is where you will get the most accurate results. If you weigh yourself at different times of the day there are many factors that could make you even weigh more than the day before like eating, not going to the bathroom and what time of the day it is.

SCALES!!! UGH!!! I always go for best 2 out of 3 if that doesn't work, best 3 out of 5! Whichever reads the closest to being the same, whether high or low, thats what I take. Tracy
