Five different readings...

Hi all,

I weighed myself this morning and it was my last-couple-of-days-plateau number. I stepped on again, and it was down two pounds. Again, one pound less than the original. Then higher. Then lower. (Yes, it had reached the point of experiment.) I have a Weight Watchers digital scale that I got at Walmart a couple of years ago, and it has always seemed pretty accurate (compared to the dr. and the gym). I kept it in the same place and stepped on it the same way. How do you guys determine which reading is right? And do you think I need a new scale?

Thanks!

Our scale does the same darn thing! But I just get on in the morning, same time, and I don't get overworked about it. I know that I have not cheated or done anything wrong to make the scale go up, all I care about is what the lowest number is. So for instance, if I get on one morning and it reads 150, and I step on 20 mins later and it reads 152.5. Then I get on the next morning and it reads 148, then I believe I have lost 2 pounds. I always follow the lowest numbers.
