Are scales ever nice?

  • Everyone seems to have had the experience where the scales was telling them the wrong weight and then the right weight was heavier than the scale reading. Why cant a scale make u seem heavier and then you get new scales and you find out your half a stone lighter ....

    I tell you why, they are EVIL EVIL EVIL scales!!! :P

    Peace Out!
  • Instruments of torment. They simply need to be put in their place--and left there. Ha! Then at least the readings will be consistent.

  • Evil, indeed! Sometimes mine will tell me things I want to hear, and then turn around and say TERRIBLE things to me, screaming that the last reading was false, FALSE, FALSE! Meanie.
  • Well, I find the scale is only as nice to me as I am to it. Did that make sense? For the most part anyway. There are times when I am extremely nice to it and it takes a few days to be nice back.

    When I eat right and exercise and drink plenty of water, it's extremely nice to me. But then, when I've been nibbling a bit too much and get a little lazy, it turns all evil on me. Real quickly too.
  • I've never purchased a scale and had the weight go down from my previous scale. My body fat % reader, though, went crazy and kept telling me my % was going UP, not down. I bought a new one and dropped 10% bf overnight...i guess it had been off for a while.
