i've weighed myself on two different scales in past few days (ones mine, other at my parents) and on one i weighed 72kg and other 66kg, thats like a difference of a stone! Both are on hard(ish) floors, so i don't think thats making a difference, and weighing in different rooms doesn't make much difference. So now i'm completely confused, what do i weigh?!?

And it doesn't help that neither of these scales is the one i was using a month ago (before moving flats).

I know how much weight i'm losing (or not), but i want to know how much that weight actually is. How can you tell?

omg this is happening to me too. My moms scale (digital) says I am 129 still.. and our other one (the old-fashioned) says I am 126... so I have no idea. I'm debating whether or not I want to shell out $40 bucks on a really good one I found on Amazon, but I really want to know !

Different scales will weigh a little differently, especially if one is off or not working correctly. I would recommend either getting a new, good quality scale or taking an item (ie lb food item such as a box of spaghetti, etc) and take a few of those boxes and weigh them on each scale. Then you will know how accurate each scale is.

Thanks. I just bought the new one from amazon and it works fantastic. I find myself checking my weight constantly now... especially since it's easily accessible in my bathroom.
