Or, the stupidity of scales. I weigh twice and the second reading is "it".

So this morning I stepped on the scales in my pyjamas and was a pound down. Whoopee. Stepped off scales and brushed teeth for 2 minutes. Stood on scales again, same clothing, exact same spot, did not touch scales between weighs. One pound heavier.

Do not waste any emotions on scales, they are just taking the p***

Scales are evil!

The same thing has happened to me several times. I have actually even gone to the toilet again, thought <i lost a bit more, and actually gained, usually a 100grams or so. How is it physically possible??? I wonder

That kind of weight gain has got to be because we breathed air and held onto some... Seriously, who knows why, but I've had the same experience. Sure does throw the day off balance.

Barbarita, I don't know if anyone has told you, but you are not supposed to eat the toothbrushes or the paste.

I feel your pain! My scales give me three different readings at any one time if it come up with the same number twice I go for that.
There can be as much as three lbs in it!
Very off putting when every ounce matters

I guess thats where the sense of daily weighing comes in,and taking the weekly average
I couldnt face that tho..i hate the tyrrany of the scales and only weigh occasionally..tho sometimes its so tempting to climb on... Invariably i wish i hadnt coz theres always that suspenseful feel that if you do it again,it will go,haha was only kidding you..youve gained in fact! X

I seem to lose weight in the shower. I've lost up to two pounds before. I sometimes weigh a few times if I find a reading hard to believe. I'm pretty sure my scales are on drugs though

Gosh that's all we need. The scales are plotting against us.

It was probably the burger you ate before you cleaned your teeth. Think you got off lightly
