Is It Better To Weigh Yourself On Carpet Or Tile

Then this morning i thought i should just see what the difference was in the bathroom.

Is it better to weigh yourself on carpet or tile.

If a scale is on carpet uneven tile or wood it can also appear to be calibrated poorly says kantor. And this makes sense says mackay as more people have easy access to a solid floor than to a deep shag pile carpet. I didn t weigh my self for a while then what with the stress of moving and when i did i saw i d put on 5kg. When your weekly weigh in rolls around don t hop on the scale after drinking a bottle of water or eating a meal.

Hard wood flooring concrete or level ceramic tile would be a good location for your scale. I might look into getting a better scale soon with increments by the tenth of a pound. Now i thought the carpet would of added like 1kg so i carried on weighing myself in my room. My brother did a test between carpet and tile just to see the difference and the difference was about 30 lbs lighter than his actual weight.

Carpet is really inaccurate and the best reading will be on a tile wood flat surface also the evenness of the floor plays a role in the reading as well. For the most accurate weight weigh yourself first thing in the morning. Suddenly i ve dropped 6 5 kg. Carpet isn t a great place for your scale.
