So, I got on my scale this morning, as usual, and I weighed myself and it said 109 lbs, and I got really excited, but then I stepped on the scale again just to make sure, and it said 112 lbs. So, then I was throughly confused, so I stepped on it again and it said 112 again. So, I was like, okay, I'm 112 lbs. But about five minutes later I decided to triple check, and I went on the scale again and it said 109. So, I'm confused. What should I do? No, I don't have money to buy another scale at the moment.

    Yes! Someone else has this problem! I think it's because my floor isn't perfectly leveled, or something like that. I just weigh myself once and go with that number.

    By the way, how tall are you? 109 seems like a low number, unless your on the shorter side

    Pick a time of the day to weigh yourself, do it, and have done with it. Our weight is never one static number, more of an average. It fluctuates all day long.

    Make sure the floor is level and change the batteries in the scale.
