    Sounds like it's either time for new batteries or a new scale.

    If you happen to go scale shopping, I just bought the Balance From digital scale off Amazon for $25 with free shipping. I really can't say enough about the scale. I think you would be really pleased with it...consistent, easy to read, doesn't require you to tap it on, just step on and go.

    Seems your scale isn't working so well. I'm lucky mine seems totally accurate, I can weigh myself 4 times in a row and I always get the same number.

    Unfortunately, many times I think its actually a new "gimmick" to have us perceive this as accuracy. Hopefully yours is different, but with my new digital scale I've noticed I can get exactly the same weight 4 times in a row, IF and only if I do the weights within a short period of each other. If I walk out of the bathroom and check my phone and then walk back in and get on...different weight. I think many of the newer scales do not completely reset with "zeroing" when you turn them on, and instead do some internal memory calculations that only wipes in 1 minute or whatever time it takes before you get a true actual reset (power is completely drained from no pressure).
