MrsCupCakeBoyle

Ive got Some Weight Watchers Scales and this morning i thought id have a peek on the scales and its saying im 207lbs when on monday i was 198lb WTF i couldnt of put that much weight on in a few days.
Also My Husbands Been rubbing it in saying hes lost 10lbs in over a week???

Always weigh yourself at the same time each day and not every day.

I usually weigh myself every other morning before doing anything else just out of bed. This gives me a pretty accurate measure.
If you changed scales its natural that you'll have different values, the important thing is that you stay with one scale only from now on and base your weight loss on the readings from the same scale.

Hope it helps.

Have a set of dumbbells? Put them on the scale and see if it reads accurate. If it does then... well, it isn't the scale. And punch your husband for me.

You may be retaining water. Some days my weight is up by almost 10 lbs, then I drink a ton of water (64oz at the very least). And just like magic, I pee out 10 lbs lol. Sounds crazy but true! I'm generally very hydrated but sometimes I just don't get enough water as I'd like. Give that a shot. And I agree with above posters saying to only use one scale, and to test it with dumbbells!
