What's up with my scales?!


Question: I just got a new scale today and it says I weigh 114.6 lbs. My old scale (which is very old, but I've been using it for years) says I weigh 145 lbs. I have no clue how there can be such a major difference. Wouldn't the new one be correct? I placed them both in the exact spot on the floor and they read this. Have I always weighed way less than I thought I did?!

ask someone else to stand on the scale if they know their weight they can help u decide. find a 3rd scale to get the real weight

I think the old one's gone wacko.

You can always get someone to stand on both scales and see if there is any difference in their weight. You can also get a new scale (yes, another one) and see if there is a difference.
