I have digital weighing scales

I weighed in bathroom today on carpet and then weighed on the hard floor and got different results

Does the surface affect the scales?

  Don't weigh on carpet. You need a hard, flat surface in order for scales to work properly.
  
  If at all possible, find a good spot where you can leave the scale without moving it.

  Yes, surface definitely affect scales. You should keep it on a hard flat surface preferably in the same spot.

  Yup, weighing on carpet will completely invalidate the results.
