My scale is being a bit of a pain. The first time I step on it every morning it will give me a readout as high as 6lbs heavier than my previous weight from the day before. I'll let it go through the motions, syncing and so on, then step on it again to get a better reading. This process has to be done sometimes 3-4 times a morning before I get the exact same readout twice and feel satisfied that's a true weight.

Can this be fixed?

Are you moving the scale between readings?  I know I was moving (putting away) the scale and getting it out each morning until I realized that this caused it to "calibrate" each day.

Ah ha! I am putting it away daily. Thank you so much. I didn't realize that was an issue.

No I thought that would solve the problem. Every morning I step on the scale and get a different reading. I step on 5 times and get 5 different weights and BF. I don’t know which one to believe
