I really think it is something wrong with my scale. I can get on the scale one minute and it says I have lost weight nd then the next second it reads something differnt! Have anyone else had this problem? Should I buy a new scale?

    I kind of think this one is self explanatory.

    I have the same issue but my scale is new lol. Do you have a wii balance board that maybe you could compare your scale to?

    Ha ha. Try the neighbors scale or your moms or something! I guess you could always buy one at wal mart and then take back the one you don't like!

    Well before having to buy one, is it on a hard floor or carpet? Wont be accurate on carpet as it needs a flat service.

    Have you changed the batteries recently?

    I think i depends where you put your feet and how you balance you body i put a line for both of my feet and i always put my big toes in the same spot and stand up the same way....hope it helps:smile:

    Mine fluctuates. I generally step on and off until I get the same weight twice, and that's the one I go with.

    Try to stand on it the same way every time. I have to re-zero mine often, even if I move it just a little it needs to be re-zeroed.

    I've found that most bathroom scale (regardless of price) will do this but a large more expensive one is better, I've also found that a sturdy non-digital one is usually better. I've resorted to just using the gym scale, I weigh myself once a week at the the same time 1st thing in the morning.

    ME TOO! I bought a second one at walmart, thinking the newer of the two should be accurate but they are both showing different weights and its driving me crazy! i have no idea now which one is right and both are good quality scales and i have changed batteries and it makes no difference!!! ugh!

    It makes it easy for me I just have access to a really nice scale used for Collegiate wrestling. I would get a new scale and weigh yourself next time you go the doctor and see how close they are.
