One scale isn't really changing and another one is by like 5 pounds? ._. I've just put a new battery on my digital scale, it was semi cheap, like $15 and that scale barely seems to budge. On the other hand, the Wii scale seems very consistent. Which should I believe? lol

I can step on the digital scale and get 3-5 pound differences every time. The Wii scale has always been consistent though. >.> But I had first started taking my weight on the digital scale.

    Try weighing some things of more or less known weight, like a gallon jug of milk or water (should be around 10-12 pounds), a bag of flour or a large bag of pet food (anything in the 25-50 pound range) to more or less get a "calibration"
    (people scales are not generally at all accurate in the low ranges, but you should get some sort of "blip" with a 10 pound weight)
