My digital scales gave me 4 different readings this morning. Which one should I use?
I then did it a few more times until I got 3 readings the same and used this. I'd also heard that if you move your scales, you should step on them, get the reading, step off and disregard this reading, before weighing yourself again and using this reading. Is this correct? My scales are EKS Casa 8872.
Thanks!
A-Best: IF you must weight yourself, make sure the scales are on hard floor rather than a rug or carpet, the best time to weigh yourself is first thing in the morning after you pee. the most important thing to do is keep it consistent, as your body weight fluctuates throughout the day and week. in this case what you could do is find the average of your reading, i.e add up all 4 readings and then divide by 4
A: You could just take the average of the numbers.
Example: If you weigh yourself 5 times add up all 5 weights and then divide by 5. That will give you the average weight.
If the differences aren't drastic (saying you're 120 one minute then 130 the next), then why worry about it? Try again in a few days.
