  • So when i stepped on the scale 3 days ago it was my normal 210, i spent all day in the sun walking around a fair, came back and it was 199 of course i was happy, when i stepped back on this morning it said 180. Now its starting to scare me, i haven't stopped eating or done any extreme exercise, is this normal? should i see a doctor? or maybe my scale is broken?!
  • I would try a different scale.
  • You more than likely need a new scale. Having a reliable scale is so much easier than worrying if the number is right. I love mine.
  • Check the batteries. Mine goes a bit crazy like that when they are running low. Wish it would come up with lower numbers like yours though rather than adding 30 pounds!
  • Don't weigh on carpet either.
  • Sounds like a scale issue to me, rather then a "should I see a doctor?" issue.
  • Get a new scale and send your old one to me!!!! I wish mine would move in that direction so quickly, it seems to have got stuck! Good luck and great start!
  • I think it is impossible to lose 30lbs in 3 days - it has to be a scale issue

  • I weighed once on the carpet and it was 30 pounds off. I bought a great healthometer scale at Walmart that measures bodyfat for 40 bucks. Try something like that.
  • Thanks everyone! ill try out a new scale!
  • I want your scale!!
  • LOL is it even physically possible to lose 20 lbs in one day without losing an internal organ or having a baby?

    I couldnt even do that having a freakin baby! Both my kids I lost less than 8 lbs with the delivery.
  • I lost 135 pounds in ONE DAY, of "dead weight", when my ex-wife left me....
