    So guilty. My morning routine, weigh when I get out of bed, go to the bathroom, weigh again, stretch for 5-10 mintues, weigh again. Feed the cats ( inside and outside cats), weigh again. Make the bed, weigh again, make a cup of coffee, do not sip just weigh again, curse the scales while drinking my coffee, get dress, and go to work!!!!

    I used to put one foot on my digi scale till it reset the weight with a different one. Then weighed, making sure I wasnt leaning forwards or backwards....(forwards if heavier, backwards is lighter). Then turn the scale 45 degrees, and do the same thing. One direction (N E S W) gives different weights. Then I realized.....thats exhausting. Now I only weigh once every few days if that.

    who else gets on the scale a couple of times to make sure its right? I always weigh myself when i first wake up after i pee. this morning i got on and the first time it said 178 (NOOO) and when i tried a bunch more times it was saying 175.4 a bunch .. i waited a few minutes and it says 176.. so i recorded at 176.... comments?

    I weigh myself first thing in the morning after peeing and completely nekkid. :) TMI But I step on the scale.. see the # and then step off and repeat. If the # is the same as the 1st time, I record that number. If it's different... I step on again and usually it's the same as the 2nd #... so I take that. Best 2 out of 3. :)

    My scale doesn't change because once it weighs you, it won't show you a different number unless it has been a few hours or if you weigh like 5lbs different.

    My scale weighs me heavier the first time I stand on it. It's a digital and it always shows an error message so I stand on it again and it is lower. I also do it 1-2 times after that to make sure. It is enough to drive you batty. I've started measuring myself in inches as well bc I always notice it before the scale and I want to see the number there. Hubby is in the military so I have one of those pt measuring tapes they use.

    I have an older scale and I do the same thing, hopping on and off 2 or 3 times and then I average it.

    I had a WW scale that would do that. I could get on it 6 times and it would be a different number each time. I tossed out that stinky scale.

    I weigh first thing in the morning and have noticed especially on cold days that the first weigh in is sometimes low, so I hop off and do it again. the second number is usually correct and consistent with any addition weigh ins I might do in hopes of seeing that first glitch return.

    I have an electronic scale that has a "memory," so I put one foot on it and let it reset to 40 pounds, then when I get on again it's a different number. Stupid scales.

    I had a WW scale that did that all the time. I finally just got a new scale and now I do not have that problem anymore.

    I have done it, and it does fluctuate, but I've also noticed that the scale at home and the scale at the doctor's office are very close, so I accept the first number that comes up now. It's close enough.

    I have to. my scale is notorious for hissy fits. step on - 121. step off. IMMEDIATELY back on 117.2. Off. on. 118. Off. on. 120.3.

    Ive had it go from 142 (more than my fiance) to 106 in one step off. you gotta hold your mouth right.

    i keep trying until the same number comes up twice.
