Scale Problems??

My Scales are evil. They will punish you if you don't believe them the first time. Each time you get back on they add extra kilos. So if hop for a 2 time they go up and if you for 3rd time the go up even more.

Hey,
I am guessing they are digital... weight something that is reliable... perhaps a large bag of sugar or something similar...see what happens??? Dunno might work???

Oh, ta Leici!

I've had inconsistencies with them too. I have the WW glass ones with the fat %age. They really need a level surface and I too do the hop on and off (twice for me) to verify. They weigh me consistently under what the surgeon's scales say- but another set of scales we have agree with the WW ones...

The body fat goes up and down too.

Instructions for how to do body fat%.
I have the instructions and will bring them to work and scan them and send you a personal email ssjad.

I got mine from 2ndsworld.com.au... They were cheap!!

I'm going to get a new battery, one day when we get to a shop that has one!! Living in a tiny town 2 hours from anywhere does have many disadvantages!!

Off to Rocky Tuesday for my pre-op appointment so hopefully I can get a battery there, then if they are still playing up I guess I'll have to buy a new set while I'm in Rocky for surgery!

Happy ...I've never had a problem with other scales (wouldn't be as worried if it was a few hundred grams)

And ...I've taken the battery out of mine so sorry can't help with the changing to body fat.

Buy new scales!

I have the same ones... they normally behave but every now and again...

By the way - can someone tell me how to change the measurement from weight to fat%? Mine came without instructions and I can't figure it out...

I have glass scales too. Mine varies by a few hundred grams and that shits me. Like you, I spend my time getting off and jumping back on until I get the same weight three times!! In my case, I think the floor isn't as even and that's what is causing the difference. In your case though, I'm not too sure. A 4kg difference is a bit much! Have you got a friend who can bring their scales down to your house and see if the same thing happens????

My sister and I both have a set of these scales.
I love them, and neither of us have had any problems what-so-ever.

I have a set of digital WW scales, the nice glass ones that do the fat % or something fancy.

Anyway I have a major problem with them, in the space of 5 minutes my weight varies by up to 4kg! The problem is SO bad I've made a rule that the number has to come up 3 times for me to believe it. It makes me wonder about the accuracy of my scales and can also take 10 mins of jumping on/jumping off ...talk about frustrating!

Has anyone else experienced this ...could it be batteries or are they just hopeless?
