    I'm so glad for this video. I'm in a fitness center that has an ancient Detecto scale and if I did it right I finally broke the 190s and I'm 184 with about 25 more lbs to go and I meet my goal.

    You should never start without the blocks being to the far right at zero. And the balance should be free floating at its center. 1:17

    • @frankvarela8796
      @frankvarela8796 2 роки тому +2

  • @ashleyjimenez6180

    What if it lands between the 100 and 150 mark . Does that represent 125? (Talking about the lower number section only )

    • @danieldsilva8322
      @danieldsilva8322 5 років тому +26

      There is no in between, You should keep it at either 100 or 150. Although if you do weight 125 pounds lol, keep the lower scale at 100 and move the upper scale all the way up to 25. The scale should then balance out.

    • @GloryToTheHighest

    The English metric system as exemplified in the use of the NON-Algorithm Metric Weighing scale are tested and proven efficient in reconciliation of the weights, based on the use of volume measurements as well as the pound and types. It is prehistorically accurate, and balance, since the readings are trial balanced, accurate in the results for medical, businesses purpose. ∆ DON'T DELETE, this is IMPORTANT. Thank you.

      Might depend on the type of scale and dare say maybe even the brand. The smart BMI scale that I have is pretty accurate with this type of Detecto scale within about 1 lb.

      There is no in-between number at the bottom. The bottom increments only 50 pounds. You adjust it with top part, which goes from 1 to 50 in 4-ounce (0.25 pounds) increments
