i weighed this morning and felt like the scale was wrong... so about 15 minutes later i weighed again. same clothes. scale in the same spot. but it was a different reading. did it again. same amount. then, i moved the scale about 3 feet away from the spot it was in and i got a different reading again. i'm confused. its a health-o-meter digital. thanks for any help

    I don't think there's anything wrong with your scale. Your weight changes daily and by the minute. Don't freak out over it. Just take the reading and keep moving forward.

    The floor affects the scales reading, how level the floor is, what clothing you are wearing, what you've eaten or had to drink, etc etc.

    Another thing to consider, in addition to the other posts, is that you might need to change the batteries....
