Why are you so upset? You know you didn’t gain 6 pounds overnight. You need to stop relying so much on what that scale says. Relax, keep logging, and see what the deal is in another day or two. Also, why are you mad at the medical establishment when your scale is what is giving you inaccurate information? The medical establishment didn’t tell you that you gained 6 pounds overnight.

Ignorance weigh more than fat and muscles.

Seems like you don't want to believe the fancy scale you purchased was a waste of money.26

I deal with, calibrate, modify, spec out, industrial and laboratory precision measurement equipment all day, every day. I am "The guy" you go to if you have problems reading Temps, Mass Flow, Pressure or Weight. I'm also the guy that programs the systems that make use of that data. I could list credentials... No two bodies are the same...YOUR body differs on a min. by min. basis. The algorithms any piece of equipment (your scales) uses only has a few, very limited, inputs. Your weight, and resistance to electrical current at different frequencies. Even the best algorithms, (and I've written some whoppers) can't factor in everything.. For instance, your salt intake has a disproportional effect on your body's resistance (impedance) because it's concentrated in your blood after a meal. How full is your lymphatic system? anything undigested is a big ???? to that device. the very MEAL itself would vary based on how much you chewed it, and whether your drinks mix was diet, or had caffeine, SOOO Many variables for that poor little thing... The scale was wrong.86

That's a heck of a first post on the forums. Bravo! 👏👏👏25 -
LOL, no problem
I spend most my time walking techs and Engineers through the processes so that they can understand and have faith in their equipment. It requires they understand the limitations. 31 -
