Two days ago I weighed in at 9 stone 2 on my digital bathroom scales. Today I jumped on and the reading is 9 13 thats nor correct. 🙄

I hate scales! Purchased new one and it can show a 6lb difference if I stand on it twice in the same bloody spot a few minutes apart. This wasn’t particularly helpful as I needed to
monitor for unexpected weight loss which I was in discussions with the GP about.

You could try new batteries, see if that helps, if it's been a while since they've been changed.

I think it's the scales because I just tried again and the reading eas 8 13 which seemed more realistic but then tried a se ind time and ut was back to 9 13. I dont normally weigh often, but I had a tooth out last week abd ive been on a diet of soup, mash and scrambled egg and ready brek for a week and lost weight so was curious. Still eating this restricted diet for a few more days
