| Bathroom scale problems...... My daughter is trying to lose to lose weight and she's getting frustrated....She told me every time she gets on her scale the number changes. If she leeeaaans to the left it registers a higher number, if she leeeaaans to the right is registers a lower lower....I just told her to keep leaning to the right when she gets on it..... I could hear her DH in the background complaining too he said, "That scale is a piece of crap! All you have to do is stand on it and fart and you lose 10 pounds!"..I couldn't stop laughing.... I have two old scales from the fifties and they work perfectly, I guess they don't make them like they used too.....

| Scales are the devil. Is it digital? Sometimes a board helps underneath them, makes them more steady.

| I'm with you...lean to the right honey!!! I know I also have a scale that is possessed. It changes from one minute to the next. It is very frustrating. Maybe it's the stupid digital. I don't know what the heck. I wish her luck on her diet. Just keep at it and forget the numbers on the scale.

| Mine was like that too. So, I bought a Taylor Professional scale. The price was not too bad and I used one of those Bed, Bath & Beyond coupons to get it. It is very accurate, sometimes painfully so.

| I have a bathroom scale problem.... it keeps going up! No matter how much ice cream I eat, it goes up and up! HAHAHAHA Seriously my bathroom scale has a 2 - 3lb difference depending if I step straight on it or stand sideways on it! I always stand sideways, it makes me feel better about myself! LOL

| LOL. Scales are evil, pure evil. They mess with your head. That's why I just let my clothes tell me I'm gaining weight. I don't want a scale. Actually I don't need a scale, I know what I've been eating.

| LOL!....From what I understand if the gas in the stomach it's heaver, it's called "bloat"........But if it's in your head it's lighter...That is where the term "airhead" comes from.....
