    Sometimes my scales do that, too, but not always. I have a hard time standing still, so I think sometimes my center of gravity is kind of shifting around, which makes the results shift, too. That's my guess, maybe for you too? You could always weigh 3 times and take the average.

    go on measurements...way more accurate than a scale

    My scale does the same thing, but it's old. Sometimes I weight myself a few times and it eventually settles in on a consistent number. Despite that it's accurate, so I hang onto it. It's only one way to gauge results, so I want to make sure that I focus on measurements as well.
