Scale gave me five different numbers



Recommended Posts

Hmmmm. So which one do I use? I put it in the same place I always do... Then moved it just an inch and tried again, a different number. And so on. I'm not sure which one is true... I really wanted the lowest one lol

different number.

bringiton

please stop moving that scale around!!!! :angry:

leave it in the exact same spot-always!!!! :)

best time IMO is to weigh first thing in the morning in your bathing suit :)

ooooops, meant birthday suit :lol:

stand up straight, deep breath in - 2 hours later - breath out!!! :o :lol:

i'm being extra silly today, sorry :lol:

consistency is the answer!!!!

weigh at about the same time, same clothes, or not ;) , and leave that scale in one spot :)

good luck :)

Try a new battery. When that happens to me, I take the number I get twice. I always want it to be the lowest too.

My scale is the same way! I usually take the lowest weight (my 3rd step-on). (At least I'm consistent with the way I'm tracking)! Makes me feel better if nothing else :D

Mine is in the same spot always and it does this depending on where I put my feet I always step on it 3 times and take the middle number or if the same number shows up twice then I use that one:)

lol mine does that too. Demonic scale. I think it just means we all have crappy scales and we need to splurge on higher quality ones. At least that's what I plan to do ;)

I have the cheap $39 Tanita but I think I am going to splurge on the higher end one that does the fat % that my old WL Clinic used. Or the Fit Bit Aria??

Thanks for the laugh! Some really depressing threads here today! I leave mine in the same place and am happy to say I now only weigh myself once a week! Oh happy days!!!

I take the lowest weight. I hate stepping back on one and its a pound higher. I am nearly 5 months out and need to break the scale habit. I weigh at least twice a day.

I love my Weight Watchers scale. I got it at target for about 20 bucks. I always get the same number no matter where I stand on it. It also tells you %body fat, BMI, etc if you have your sex and height programmed in.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
