hey guys... i weighed myself today and i weighed 216 and then i checked again within 10 seconds and it's 218 is that normal or my scale is messed up...please tell me if any of you has had that experience. Thank You!

Make sure it is on a flat surface. (no carpet) My scale has acted a little funny a few times too. So yes I would consider it normal for a scale to do that once in awhile.  I always weigh myself in the morning before I eat or drink. Once I consume anything I never step back on it. Good-luck.

 Hi Suemay!

Yes, I admit I am addicted to the scale. I used to get on and off like a gadzillion times a day, and never seemed to figure out why it always fluctuated. It would drive me nuts!  Now I get on first thing in the morning, and that's it.  Whatever it says I run with that for the day. 

If you figure out the answer, let me know, ok?

 SueMay,

Try to get a digital scale to weigh yourself. There are very realible and they even tell your fat%.

 My scale also acted funny many times. It can be disappointed if you keep weighing yourself. ONe time  and in the morning I also find that it works. I like the digital too idea.  I am planning on getting one myself too.

 Many have posted on this board that the Tanita digital scale is the most accurate.  I have one side-by-side with my old digital scale, and while the old one fluctuates within seconds, the Tanita doesn't budge once it states the weight.  Always weigh first thing in the morning before your coffee but after your pee.  Then don't get on it again the rest of the day.

 i too have a tanita digital - and altho i supose i shouldn't get on it every day,  i do. trouble is, the tanita scale measures in half pounds, and the alli check-in only allows  round numbers, so what do you report? the lower number, or round up?
