    Hahaha! Clif bars do have a tendency to stick like a brick, but not literally! It's the scale, not you!

    Never wiegh yourself after showering because you retain water through your skin/hair and will always wiegh more. Roughly an extra couple of kgs, I don't know what that is in pounds.

    i bought a weight watchers scale. anyone have that? i noticed i have to weight myself about 10 times b/c i keep getting a different reading depending on how much pressure is put on toes v heels. i try to remain as flat and even as possible. i just go with the number that comes up the the most.
    - ps - its on a tile floor, not carpet

    Do you store your scale on it's side? I was having trouble with inconsistent weights on my old scale, bought a new one, and happened to notice that it said in the manual to ALWAYS store it flat. I do so now, and have had no more problems with inconsistent weights. That could be part of the problem. good luck!

    Wow that is really good to know. I only weigh myself once a day, in the morning and I've been having problems with it giving inconsistent weights. I always store it standing on it's side under the sink. Good to know that could be what's causing the problem!

    I started off pretty heavy for most scales. I bought a beam balance off ebay (vitamaster like old fashion doctor offce scale) for about $100. It is accurate to within fractions of a pound. Very good investment in myself.
