Does the scale ever seem like it can't decide on a weight?
When I stepped on the scale today it would flash 121.6 for a second and then go up to 122.8 and hold steady. I stepped on the scale a few more times and every time it did that. It was weird, like It wanted me to be a lb lighter but I wasn't. Does this happen to anyone else?
