weighing more on carpeted surface than on tiles

marinashakeel · November 2013

soo i have this really weird experience today.. i weighed myself on tiled surface and it turned out to be 130lbs...i usually does it on carpeted surface.. i wasnt satisfied with what i was seeing.. i was down 8 lbs in a single day.. that couldnt happen, right? so i went back to a carpeted one and guess what..,. the weight machine.. just like that.. added 10 pounds

.. what weight should i believe..
p.s: yesss.. i think it is a success story becuase i was down 10lbs if only for a moment

I've had the same experience. Carpets cause the scale to get off balance. It's best to weigh on a smooth flat surface.

there is a "sweet spot" on my tiled bathroom floor. Move the scale 1/4 inch, and I gain 3lbs IMMEDIATELY.

Should always weight yourself on a hard surface. So I would say tiles

Well seeing as the carpet is not an even surface id say believe the weight from the tiles.
