bone mass reading drastically drop within 2 days?

Former Member over 8 years ago

I am really baffled why would the scale show sudden (30%) drop in my bone mass from 13.5 lb to 10.5lb within 2 days whereas no other reading like weight/BMI/BoduFat... really changed?? Has anyone had similar experience with the scale? I attached the picture..

Just for the sake of arithmetic, that’s a 22% decrease. Had it gone from 10.5 to 13.5 it would have been a 33% increase.

Was it a one off? What were subsequent readings? It won't be your bone mass that's dropped, just the reading from the scales. But the you knew that right?

The subsequent readings were 10.3lb and stayed the same till now. The graph I posted is for the bone mass in pounds... not sure what you mean "It won't be your bone mass that's dropped".

It's physiologically impossible to lose that much bone mass in such a short space of time. There's an error in the readings somewhere.
