you need to be tracking weight over WEEKS not twice in one morning.
How accurate do you think a bathroom scale will be?

I'm 6'3 and 195lb. If the scale is accurate to 1% (a super thing for something so cheap) that's 2 lbs either way any given time. Then add in temperature, humidity. THEN add in how much water is in your body.

That same thing happens to me. My husband reports similar findings. It's the weight watchers scale from costco

Does anyone have a recommendation for a truly accurate scale? Mine will swing around 2 pounds over a few weighs almost every morning.

I am thinking about the Withings Body+ Smart Body Composition WiFi digital acale with smartphone app, any experience with this one?

I can make mine give different weights depending on how I am standing -- if my weight is on my toes or center, it reads higher. If I put all my weight on my heels, it reads lower. Obviously, I always lean back as much as possible.

I keep mine on a wood floor, and it is extremely accurate. I know this because I always weigh myself before I go to the doc, and my result matches there's. Same with DS. He weighs himself (he's trying to gain weight), and his results at his doc's office also match ours.

Mine you need to step on once to wake it up, step off and then back on. Luckily for me it shows a higher weight the first time so I am thrilled for the second reading. Yours is just mean : )

I’ll try this. Mine is currently on wood floor. Thanks!

I was running around getting dressed this morning, and half-dressed, decided just to weigh in after a pretty good weekend of working out. So I stepped on and was shocked to see I was a few ounces away from a goal. So I stripped down and stepped on again, and it was two pounds heavier! What? I just replaced the batteries.
