Just could do with some advise really. My scales (i have two sets) are saying the same, but they start off heavier than the second reading. Here are the readings:

1st Scale set one (accurate to 0.5)

= 161.6 / 158.6 / 158.4 lbs


2nd Scales (accurate to 1)

= 161 / 158 / 158 / 158

So by ratio, the outcome is 158lbs... but why do they start off at like 3+ lbs higher? =/

Should my reading be 161 or 158...? Help! :explode:

Thankyou! :heart:

    Scales can be sensitive if you stand on them wrong,. sounds silly and weird but try standing on them the exact same way if you aren't already.

    In my opinion...choose one and stick with it. You'll go crazy with worrying about two of them.

    Yeh i was trying to stand on it in the same way all the time. Im still not sure on what weight to use... If im not the only one having to stand on it a few times to get a true reading then ill probably go with the 158lbs :smile:
