Is there such a thing as a scale that weighs accurately on carpet (as opposed to a hard floor)? It seems like there are a lot of scales that say they do, but do they *really*? Is it as accurate as on a hard floor? The only hard floors in my apartment are my kitchen and bathroom, and both are tiny.

Try getting a piece of plywood cut big enough (2x2?) so you can slide it under your bed or sofa ~ put your scale on that and see if it weighs accuratly.

just a thought!

Move you scale around the house and see if there is a difference. My scale weighs me 5# less on carpet. At one weight loss center, years ago they put a piece of wood between the scale and carpet and stated that it weigh correctly. Barbara

I never weigh on carpet regardless the scale..

Technically as long as you weigh yourself in the same spot it doesnt matter anyway.

But I actually line the scales up with particular bathroom tiles, step on in exactly the same way and rest slightly towards my heels when I weigh, lol. That way I get the lowest possible weight - stark naked after a wee first thing in the morning. Never with wet hair!
