WEIGHT FLUCTUATION: When it's abnormal

It is a strange and frightening to read this on the scale(s). Thank you for the comment on Thyroid. I was alarmed to say the least. You will probably not believe this and possibly wonder about my initial post but not even two months ago my sister and I were weighing ourselves, on my scale. It is digital called The Counselor. It has never failed me. My sisters weight appeared normal to her as well, considering her last weigh in on her own scale. I had been on the low carbohydrate diet for about the last month and all was reading what I considered normal. It was just last week that this fluctuation began to appear. I had weighed myself on my Moms scale about 1.5 months ago as well and was equivilant to the reading I was getting on my own scale. This is what happened in the last two days. I weighed myself on my scale. All was good. I weighed myself on my Moms scale and was the same. Then I weighed myself again on my scale the next day. This is where I found the 30 lb drop. Immediately yesterday, I dropped my pup off at my Moms, enroute to the doctor. Since my Mom is a nurse I told her what had happened and she claimed it is impossible. I weighed myself on her scale again and to my surprise it read the weight I was the day before. I got on my scale this morning and it gave me a reading of 20 pounds less. I weighed again and it read 30 pounds less. The conclusion is that the battery in my scale must need changing. My Mom suggested that sometimes the spring in these scales can break. The scale is still brand new. I have had it awhile but barely ever used it. I am going to change the battery and see what happens. In the meantime, I am going to watch my weight, weekly on my Moms scale in addition to my own. Maybe I should just get a new scale. I didn't bother heading to the doctors afterall because obviously my scale is giving me a way false reading.

I am so happy that it is a false reading. I too would have been scared. Thank God that all is well. Blessings
