I've had the same experience. Carpets cause the scale to get off balance. It's best to weigh on a smooth flat surface.0

there is a "sweet spot" on my tiled bathroom floor. Move the scale 1/4 inch, and I gain 3lbs IMMEDIATELY.0

Should always weight yourself on a hard surface. So I would say tiles0
