Are my weighing scales wrong?

Question

i bought some new scales today , and according to them i have not lost a single pound, but weeks ago i had nearly lost a stone, i bought apair of jeans which i couldnt fit into , but i can now ? i have lost weight or are these scales wrong?

Answer 1

every pair of scales weight you differently, i get weighted in at a slimming class every week and find if we have a tempery consultant[ they all have there own scales] we can either weight lighter by a few pounds, or heavier, plus you weight different first thing in the morning to last thing at night,Try your scales first thing in the morning and then in a weeks time,

Answer 2

Could be or u myt have placed the scales on carpet instead of lino cos tht also makes a diff, go to boots and weigh urself there,

Answer 3

Either your scales are faulty or you have hit a plateau, weight something on it and if its not the right weight then take them back, good luck and well done on losing a stone.

Answer 4

the best type of scale is the elec ones, they never lie. make sure ur scales are set right and u are weighing urself on a solid even floor!!

Answer 5

I always weigh myself in my local Wilko - they show me up 1 stone lighter than my ones at home

Answer 6
