I've been on a roll lately, losing weight through the holidays like a champ. I've even progressed from weighing myself EVERY day...to every few days or so is about the norm for me these days. However, to my shock and almost horor, the scale told me I'd lost 10lbs. in 2 or 3 days. Now, had I just started out on this journey, it would be cause for celebration but considering I am almost to my goal, to drop a substantial amount of weight that quickly and without any change in routine would be a bit alarming for me. I stepped off, waited for it to reset on three different occasions...the scale said he same 146.4. I accepted it and vowed to start paying attention to what I was eating and drinking because I was obviously TOO good at this thing.

I'm happy to say that when I weighed myself this morning, I was at a more reasonable weight - I've still lost about a pound, but not TEN! Yikes!

Is that a battery operated scale? If so maybe it is time for a battery change. I had a similar issue and it turns out it was the batteries.

PT that happens to me too but it's usually the other direction! Also...the time of day you weight can change the number drastically and if the battery is failing all bets are off
