I weighed myself on three different spots in the bedroom, then in two other different spots in the house. Got two different weights......I think gravity is broken here, or the house is lop-sided......but I went with the lower number, which was 150. So hopefully it's correct.....

    And that is the reason people should not put so much faith in a number on the scale!!!

    I'd want to say that maybe your scale isn't too accurate, but it could just be that your house is a bit lop-sided as you say :)

    I once had a scale that wouldn't budge unless the different was in excess of 1kg. It was so annoying, because my weight would just seem to be the same from day to day, so I had to weigh + heavy object first, and then weigh myself again to get a true measurement...

    The lowest number is always correct!

    I'm going with lopsided because I can't walk up the walls. or jump in the air and stay there for a bit. lol

    I have a spot, but it wasn't completely flat. Now I have a new spot. :smile:

    Agreed because there is NO WAY I gained three lbs in a day or two. :laugh:

    Gravity anomalies are very common in my house. I'll walk into a room to find my cats upside down with their feet in the air sleeping. Obvious low gravity spots.

    Probably a stupid question, but was it all on the same type of floor? I know my scales don't work properly unless its on a flat, hard surface, I always have to move the bathroom rug lol

    One part of the floor is tiled and some parts are un-tiled because of the neglect the house has gotten from my fiance's mom. I'm going to try weighing on the tiled part because it's most flat.

    my house is lopsided too, it can vary 3 lbs just in the bathroom in different spots :/. So frustrating!

    Gravity varies with altitude and latitude.
    Go south and up.
