I have been weighing roughly the same weight for the past week, nothing suspicious there, I know it happens. I ate out two times this week, yet no change on the scale. NONE. I actually stayed at the same weight I was the day previously, which I thought was strange, I was sure that I would at least hold some water weight, and deep down I had a thought that maybe there was something wrong with the scale, but instead I just looked on the bright side of things.
Last night after dinner I decided to weigh myself and test my suspicions. I was up 1.5 lbs than I had been in the morning, which seems suitable. I initially thought my scale was fine, and it was just me getting frustrated that I've been stuck at about the same number with less than a pound variations if there was a change. This morning though, when I weighed myself my scale showed me the same exact weight as last night.
I grabbed a 2lb dumbell, weighed myself with it, (I can't remember if it was exactly 2 lbs higher, I think it may have been slightly off by a .1 or .2 of a lb). Re-weighed myself without it, and it was about a 2lbs lower than my first morning weight.
I then asked one of my family members, who is much lighter than me to weigh themselves, they did. A few minutes later, I again stepped on the scale and it told me I was up about .5 pounds from the first weight (which I am going to assume is my actual current weight)!
It almost feels like the scale just remembers and then regurgitates the last weight showing the same number or something close to it (less than a pound in variation) unless someone with a drastic weight difference weighs themselves on it in between weighings. Am I overreacting or does it sound like I should look for a new scale or try replacing the batteries?
