Is it possible for weight scales to show an incorrect weight?

yep it is possible especially if you are using an electronic scale… but i think you have a messed up image of yourself because you are EXTREMELY thin and i think your scale is accurate.

of course. even calculators screw up due to malfunctions, nothings perfect.

i thought the same thing 2 when i went to the doctors i weighed 98lbs fully clothed and i feel like i weight more lol but to answer your question depending on the scale your using its possible the weigher wasn’t on zero. i’m not really sure how the battery operating ones work though.

then try another scale and see if it reads close to the same. If so then you know your scale is working

What you can do to see how far off your scale is, is set a 10lb, or a 20lb weight on the scale to see if it weighs what its suppose to… then you will know for sure!!

find something that you know weighs a certain weight and if its wrong then you might want a new one

Somme scales are actually a little off..my brother has one and he says its like 2.4pounds off his actual weight (he has to kno his exact weight cause he’s in wrestling n stuff)

Scales can be damaged or out of calibration and not be accurate.

Yes it depends on the brand if you get a $5 weight scale then yes there is a good chance that the scale in going to be a couple of pounds off :)

Most scales are inaccurate by 2-3 pounds. When I weigh myself, I weigh three times and then find the average weight of my body from those three numbers. I don’t have an electronic scale.
