Does it go up or stay the same (or does it depend on the height you lift it to)?

I stays the same. You are now supporting your entire weight on one foot.

The scale is supporting your entire weight regardless of whether you are standing on one or two feet. On some scales you must distribute your weight evenly (on two feet?) to get the most accurate reading and you must stand still which may be harder balanced on one foot.

It should not change, all you are doing is now putting all your mass through one leg instead of two.
As long as the scale measures accurately - there should be no change. But you will have a sore leg if you do it for too long ;o)

the reading will remain. its because the total weight is shifted to the remaining foot on the scale.

On a really accurate scale it should n't matter as long as you are not holding on to something, like the wall.

Nothing will happen if you can be still standing on one foot without having to ballance yourself.
