Scales really frustrate me. I was having trouble with my old scale with getting varying weights every time I got on it. Spent over $40 for a brand name new scale and it seemed to work well for awhile. Battery went within six weeks. I replaced that and seem to be getting varying weights again. I tried leaving it in one spot and not moving it. I got on this morning and the first time I weighed in at 178.4...2 lb loss! Got off and back on and it read 169...twice in a row. The 4th time I weight it read 181.4. I then got back on and got 179.9 three times in a row. I know you can have fluctuations due to fluid, but I don't think an 11 or 12 lb fluctuation occurs within 30 seconds. I had it by the heater in the bathroom. I am going to move it away from the heater to see if it makes any difference.

Thank you for making me laugh out loud

Your scales are definitely not working properly.
Send them back in.
You should get a refund and get yourself a new one.
(I love my Tanita scales btw., the big one as well as the travel scales,
no matter how often I step on it, the fluctuation within the 30 second period is definitely less than 0.2lbs (if any))

Thanks for all the birthday wishes everyone!! We sure have some motivated people on this board!! You guys are so inspiring!!!
