Scale gives different readings depending on how I stand

As the title says, my scale gives different readings depending on how I stand. IE. If i lean my weight onto my toes vs heals vs even, i can get around a ~20lb variance. I think this may have something to do with the fact I have large feet and can't be entirely on it, but don't know for sure. Short of spending the cash on a new one that may or may not resolve this issue since I've been having the problem since it was new, does anyone have any thoughts? It seems to work fine for everyone else in the house, but they all have significantly smaller feet :-(

    Well, it will only weigh you accurately if you are entirely on the weighing platform. If it has been off since you got it, it may be a poor design for you and your size or it may be broken. Either way I would look at an alternative scale....

    Honestly you NEED a new one, if the one you purchased you can not put your feet flat on the weight platform (hang off in ANY WAY) you are NEVER going to get an accurate reading

    Mine does that too, but I have really small feet. I can make it change by just leaning, not moving my feet, so I know it's not that I'm not standing on the platform properly...
