Does anybody elses scale mess with them?

[QueenOfTheTamazons 634]

I swear my scale has a sick sense of humor. Today's weight loss would put me over into my first 10%, so I was super excited to weigh.

But my scale gave me three different weights 2x each. 347.4 (gain of 0.6), 346.8 (even) and 345. The first 345 blinked and shut off so I did it again and came back the higher number and I was thinking WTF, so I weighed again and its the mid mumber. I try a couple of more time trying to get the same number twice in a row... no go. I give up.

My scale is a jerk.

Yes hands raised!!!!! I weighed in at 195.6 or something like that yesterday morning. Which is a good thing because I'm trying to get into the low 190's high 180's by the end of the month. But then... this morning it was like a firm 197.8 like I tried getting on and off hoping things would change but nope! So yeah that scale can be cruel and deceptive at times.

I literally went to the doctors I've Tuesday and got weighed. 236. I weighed myself at home yesterday 230, 231,232. I give up. Which is why i didn't such music at home through the peices of getting approval. It upset me too much. I feel like it's my floors. Since they redid my apartment they haven't been the same.

I didn't mean to day such music. I meant which is why i didn't weigh much at home through the approval process.

Can you calibrate the scale up 5lbs to coincide with the doctor's scale?

Mine hates me. Its funny though I will get 10 different readings w 7 lb difference but the day I go to the Dr it's dead on. Think its possessed. Fiancé agrees he weighs pretty much the same all the time does him the same way. I even leave it in the same spot I made sure was level because that could mess it up I think

I have a love-hate relationship with my scale. Sometimes when I don't like the numbers, I change the batteries and think "That's gotta be it." It's so fickle though... I should invest in a better scale since those numbers have dictated my life since 2009.

Ok glad I'm not the only one. I just ordered a new scale because I think mine is just crazy. I'm just starting (pre-op) and made drastic changes to my diet over the past week. It says I've lost 19lbs in 5 days since the official dr. weigh in. I would love to think that's possible, but c'mon...

Are you keeping it on a flat surface?? I used to put it on the kitchen floor which has tiles or carpet in the bedroom on and it would give me some very whacky numbers. Now I put it on hardwood floor and it stays consistent.

My scale is also ridiculous. I'm going to throw it out and just go to the doctor once a week and weigh in
