My name is Linda and I and a scale-a-holic. Did you know that your weight also depends on which orientation your scale has on the floor? I think is has to do with the bumps and curves of the floor. Also, if you lean forward while stepping on the scale, it increases your weight. It has become almost a ritual. Strip down, place the scale just right, step on, leaning back and wish...Oh too bad...stalled again!
