    I have a WW scale with that problem, I have weighed 4lbs differnce in the space of a minute before!
    I usually take 3 weights and go with the middle one, or the one that appears twice :-)

    I have a weight watcher scale, have had it for over 5 years, never changed the battery and the # is consistent the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd time in a row. I weigh on the same day of the week, the same time of day, wearing the same thing. I know there are different types of these scales out there. I must of lucked out and got a good one.

    I usually weigh just once. I am looking to buy a new scale. I notice a lot of people post tenths of a pound. What kind of scale does that for you? I would like to get one of those so when I weigh in several times the weight won't be exactly the same week after week! lol

    @llb1216
    gonna check out your link to amazon, thanks!

    I just have a digital scale from walmart. I didn't buy the cheapest or the most expensive just one in the middle. I step on mine multiple times and yes sometimes they are different amounts. The weight I log is the one that shows up twice back to back. I have also found that the way you stand on the scale can affect the number so make sure your weight is evenly distributed and that your not leaning forward or backward.

    yes I weigh in the mornings and at night daily to make sure I'm keeping on track and not gaining. If I notice a slip I will go work out some more before bed!! I have a WW scale to and it does the same to me. What I do is I weigh myself and when it shows me the same number 4 times, thats the number I chart. Sometimes it does it and sometimes not.

    I don't have a WW scale I have a digital scale purchased from Targe for about $39.99 and I love it. I've weighed myself before and was shocked at the number so I've done it again just to be sure and it's always been consistent, I don't ever get a different reading if I'm stepping of and stepping on. I'm glad I fought the urge to purchase the WW scale when I was looking at it. :wink:

    Thanks everyone! I am glad to see I am not the only one that has this problem. Just not sure if I want to log either one because I don't want to over or under my weight and throw me off next week. Maybe I should go with the smaller number becuase I did put on my size 5 jeans :)

    Also, are you taking your measurements? I measure my bust, waist, hips, arms and thighs about every 2 weeks. My weight has been stuck at 135, but my waist showed I lost 1 inch. That's progress to me! :wink:

    I have a weight watchers scale as well and I weigh myself at least 5 times at once and hope that it is the same weight the last 2 times. I just changed my batteries last month. It is very frustrating but I'm glad that I'm not the only one with this problem. I think I'm going to buy a new one.

    So, I'm talking to a co-worker about our nutty scales and how the first number is always a few pounds heavier, then the next several times offer a lower, consistent number. I decided to search the web and see if anyone else is having that happen, and here I am back at MyFitnessPal.

    Whew. Glad to know it's not just us.
