Gained 10 lbs in four hours?
I weighed myself about four five hours ago and was 123 lbs (clothed)—my normal according to every scale I step on, now I get on my scale (unclothed) and it says 134! I’ve redone and redone it and it says 134! I haven’t eaten ANYTHING in those four hours. I changed the battery and it says the same thing! My husband said he weighs about 8 lbs more than normal on the scale, but he would like to keep me from panicking. Is it possible to gain that much weight–like do I need to go to the ER or is it common for digital scales to do this?? I have never had one do that before!
I know you gain weight from morning to night, my a.m weight is usually 120-122 and my evening weight is usually 123-125 max. It has never been 123 at 7 PM and then 134 at 11 PM. That is 10 lbs in FOUR hours. That can’t be normal.
