me having to move the scales all over the place to find the right spot that had me near to where I think I should be, compared to previous days weights!

There was a difference of over a stone depending on where I was...some place had me a lb or two over my starting weight! others made it look like I had lost 1.5 stones in a 3-4 weeks!

I have tried to find the most even floor area for them and hopefully it is almost right.

Makes me think though, I have no idea how much I do exactly weight! Ah well.

Yes, I went through that kind of problem and resisted buying new scales for months! Glad I did though because the new ones show the same weight wherever I put them on the floor. Mind you I did have to accept that my true weight was a lot higher than the old scales said!

Actually, moving them around again, as i want them somewhere they wont move, the most consistent weight (and the quickest, ie it settles without jumping around all over) is 16 stone 1! My start weight on the 3rd June was 16 stone! I could actually cry. Feels like I am going to have to start all over again.

Put something that you know the true weight of ie: bags of sugar, bucket of paint, bag of pet food, hubby or child that is always the same, etc. and see where you get the same weight as the package claims. Hopefully that will be a steady location for your scales.
