My scales are possessed

Hi,
This morning I weighed myself to find I had gained 2 kilos in 5 days???????!!!!!!!!:mad:
I picked up the scales and then moved to the other side of the room and got on them again to find the weight was 2 kilos lighter that what it said on the other side of the room?????
So whilst I have not gained any weight, my trust in that scale has just taken a huge nose dive.
Anyone know a good catholic priest????? :laugh:

A scale will respond to the level of your floor... how much battery life is left, humidity and so much more...
I leave my scale in the same spot, and then if im unsure if it is giving off an accurate reading , i put my 10 lb weight on it , and make sure it reads correctly.0 -
Thanks for Info. I will call off the priest!!!!:laugh:
From now on I will move it around the house until I find the lightest weight!!!!
No seriously I will use your advice a test the scale with a pre weight of some sort to make sure the reading is true before getting on.0 -
Mine did the same thing.......so I kicked it to the curb..and invested in a new one!
Good luck!!

Haha, Yes - and when in doubt use the lowest weight0 -
Haha, this is a PLAN! I put mine in the same place all the time, but sometimes when I switch them on they will read -0.2lb which confuses me! I tend to just turn them off and back on again until they read 0lb.0
