This is the frustrating things about scales THEY ALWAYS HAVE DIFFERENT READINGS!!! UGH!! I have two scales a digital one that I paid good money for at US Fitness Products and a cheap manual one from Walmart...This morning I stepped on the digital scale and it said 164.2...the manual one said 166 or 167 (couldn't see those small lines from my standing point)...so then 4 minutes later I stepped back on the digital scale and it said 165.4 WTH!?!? I didn't eat, drink, or go to the bathroom in those 4 minutes!!! I see right now, those scales are NOT going to be my friend!

I don't think they make a accurate scale. Even my doctors office told me theirs is off. I would just weigh yourself with the same scale everytime and keep track of weight lost.0

Make sure you put scales exactly the same place on floor every time you use them. Moving them around even a few inches I find can make a difference, also the type of floor they're on. I always use hard flooring and not carpet as it makes me weigh less.0

Like the other posters have said, same place, same time, same scales. I have a three times rule. I stand on my scales repeatedly until the same reading comes up 3 times. That is then the one I log. But apart from that - try not to obsess over what the scale says, the tape measure should be your friend.0

I weigh myself first thing in the morning once a week.0
