can a bathroom scale break?

Question

ok, i was 95 pounds then grew two inches and went to 97, but two weeks later i stepped on and it read 105...my measurements everywere (including hips, , legs) are the same, i accually lost an inch around my waist (i know this because i sew) and my clothes fit the same, AND everyone says i dont look any different. i have been exersizing...so what gives????

i accually started my period a long time ago, didnt have it for two years, and then just got it back but only for a day...but im off it now

Answer 1

muscle is more dense than fat so your body contains more muscle than it did. hence your measuements have not changed...its a good thing.

Answer 2

Chances are the scale is broken.
If not it could be your period (if you've started it yet)
I usually weight 118, but when my time of the month comes (and about a week before) I jump up to like 122, but then go back down once it's done. And my body doesn't look any different.

I highly doubt you gained that much weight in 2 weeks, unless you've been eating like crazy.

Try weighing yourself on a friend's scale or a scale at your school, that should give you a more accurate answer.

Answer 3

First off CHILLAX, oh my goat 105?!?!?!? second the lose of an inch and the weight gain make sense cause your probably just gettin more toned and muscle weighs more thn fat, also bear in mind you can flux by 10 pound throughout the day depending on digestion, hydration, etc

Answer 4

I have a few theories

1. Your scale is broken
2. Your gaining muscle which burns fat
3.your retain water
4.you need to poop before you weigh yourself ( it makes a difference 4 real)

Answer 5

Maybe you gained muscle because of exercise.

Answer 6

Just like you've said, you've gotten taller. Nothing to worry about. You're growing.

Answer 7

Anything can break.

But, Maybe its just muscle gain?
