My weight has fluctuated by a lot on this new digital scale that i bought. sometimes it'll go up by three pounds or more. i'm not eating differently. what do i do to get an accurate weight and is the scale wrong?

Consistent weighings: Your weight can fluctuate throughout the day and will vary depending on meal size, sodium consumption, and even bowel movements! I'd recommend you weigh yourself at the same time in the mornings after using the restroom, but before eating a meal to get more consistent results. You can also compare with another scale to see if your digital one is defective.
