Yesterday he weighed 235.00 ... even.. and this am weighed 335.6.. then.. as he was getting his shirt back on.. I said.. let's do this again... I put him back on.. and then he weighed 234.2... then... I weighed him again.. 234.8... then again... 234.8... always about 10 seconds in between.. I know.. I am anal... and maybe I got a false reading... but... what number is accurate??? thanks.. Lia

Re: The digital scale!!
With a digital your position has to be exactly correct. On mine there is a +/- .5-.7 degree difference if I'm standing straight and dh tells me what it says or if I bend my head to see what it says. To be honest, I go with which ever # the first time... if for some reason, in your case the first reading was high I will weigh a couple of times until I get 2 readings the same... now which one is right, who knows...
Also, it is better not to weigh everyday (however I do it as well and have since restarting introduction, but after will go to once a week twice at most)It is okay if it takes me a little longer to get there, besides this is where I'm going to stay forever and that is a really long time!!!

Re: The digital scale!!
If he is shifting his weight from foot to foot or forward backward it will definitely affect the weight. Also depends on where he places his feet on the scales. Weighing weekly is probably better. Less frustration if this scale is going to drive you batty.JILL

Re: The digital scale!!
My scale does the same thing. I try and make sure to weigh in the same exact spot ( on the same bathroom floor tile) and place my feet is the same spot. The I'll get on and off a few times and which ever reading I get twice is the one I go with. But really the difference for me is usually around +/- .5-.7 pounds which really isn't a huge deal but it does really matter when you really need to see some movement on that scale!sigpic~Starr~
