    I actually had to 'build a floor' for mine. My bathroom is too small to keep the scale in there, and the hallway has carpet. It's only commercial grade carpet squares on concrete, but it was enough to screw up the consistency of my scale. I had a box of stick down parquet tiles left over from when the previous owner did the dining room floor, so I got some 1/4" plywood subfloor to attach the tiles to and have that laying on top of the carpet. It did the trick. I get consistent numbers so long as I don't step on the scale really awkwardly.

    Hahahahaha, I literally said it doesn't bother me in the original post and that it's just curiousity in another. I fail to see how I'm making a "big deal" out of anything.

    Thanks for all the replies. I'm thinking that my scale is probably just not the greatest quality. To answer a few questions though...
    I don't move it so it wasn't that the floor was different.

    It's a glass digital scale that cost about 22 so it isn't top of the line by any means.

    Ewww....I'm gonna go wash my sheets right now at the thought of two pounds of dead skin. Lmbo.

    I didn't realize that heat and humidity would effect a scales reading, even if that's not the case it's an interesting fact.

    I don't think it's the batteries as I've just bought it in the last week. But then again, who knows how long it was sitting on the shelf with the battery slowing draining?

    It is very possible that I was standing on it differently.

    Anyway, thanks everyone for your insight and suggestions. It's literally not a big deal to me that my weight goes up or down in the course of a day. Just I had a question so I thought I would ask.
