Broken weight scale

[Snowbat]

This weekend, I weighed about 82kg (180lbs) in the morning just after getting up, with just my shorts on.
This morning, 5 days later, I weigh myself again, just after getting up, only shorts and I weight... 74kg (162lbs)...
Please reassure me: my weight scale is probably broken (or the batteries are depleted) right? I mean, even though this is my week off after 8 weeks of working out 3 times per week, a human can't possibly lose that much weight in such short time right?

some of it is water weight.

don't trust a scale very much, judge yourself in a mirror instead. mirrors over scales

yeah but since I started my workout, I went from 176lbs to 180lbs in about 8 weeks time without ever going below 176 again. Though the gains are not really impressive, they're gains and my weight was consistently over 176 for weeks. And now, in a few days time, a drop of 13lbs...

weight scales, bp monitors, bf measurement devices.. are never 100% accurate.

your best bet is the measure yourself using different devices at different times.

No way will you drop that kind of weight unless your trying. Fighters can but go to extremes to do it
