Newer doesn't mean better

I've been griping about my at home scale for weeks now. One moment I would step on that pesky little thing and it would read one number. Then, I would step off and back on and it would read a different number. One time it actually told me that I weighed more with wet hair! Every girl out there knows that cannot possibly be true. Anyhow, I got a new (more expensive) scale thinking for sure that it would be better and more acurate. I was so excited when I saw the box on my porch when I got home from work yesterday. I rushed inside, tore open the box and jumped on. Then, I looked down and BAM it read 5 pounds more than my cheap scale I thought was not good!!! Talk about frustration. Anyhow, someone gave me the great advice to put a 10 pound bag of flour on each scale and see which one reads closest to 10 pounds. Well, I didn't have a 10 pound bag of flour (I love to cook, but I'm not much of a baker) so I used 10 pound weights. And both scales, expensive and cheap, read 10 pounds!! So, now I'm wondering if it's possible for a women to gain and loose 5 pounds in 1 week?

I'm crossing my fingers for that 5 pounds to fall off by WI on Saturday.

Happy Easter!
