Call it a liar... A POS.... blame it's battery....say it's old and needs replacing......turn it in another direction for better results....throw it across the room...?
I just did....and sounded like a crazy man.

I trained for a marathon and didn't change my eating habits and lost quite a bit of weight. Now that I am not running 10+ mile every weekend I've blown up real good

(7,774 posts)I've never owned a scale or had much of a desire to use one.
Pretty much always been around my target weight.

But when I'm more than three pounds heavier than I thought I tend to suspect foul play. I mean, how can you gain seven pounds when you only ate a 24 ounce ribeye?
