Why do I weight more in different rooms
7 Answers
How can I weight more than 1/2 stone more in one room than in any other room in my house? I tested this last night & all readings were taken with 10minutes of each other.

Second reason is depth of carpet - scales need to be on a firm surface, and yoy'll get strange readings if they're on a springy surface.
If I were you I'd take the lowest reading and always weigh yourself there - perhaps that is the room you are most comfortable in - unless you are really skinny and underweight, then take the highest reading and weigh yourself there - whatever the reason it will make you feel much better about yourself......think I might go and try the same!
thanks for the comments. I usually weight myself in my spare room & because I had a guest staying used my main bedroom & when my weight had suddenly increased I tested other rooms. I even tried different parts of the room cos I couldn't understand it. However I do know which room I shall not be weighing myself in in future
If you weighed yourself in an upstairs room, it would be less than downstairs, because it is further away from the centre of the Earth, and therefore the force of gravity would be less. So if your upstairs room is, say, 200 miles higher than your downstairs room, then you would be about a stone lighter.
