Hey, I have not had a good history with bathroom scales as they all seem to fluctuate weight by huge amounts in the EXACT same spot with seconds between weighing without moving it which is a real problem. I was wondering if anyone has accurate scales that don't do this that aren't too expensive either as I need a set :)

    I just bought some Salter scales from Argos a couple of years back and they're still going strong. A few people also recommend the Weightwatchers ones.

    Also ensure your floor is level and better to place them on a hard flooring such as wood or tile rather than carpet.

    Yeah scales are super frustrating. Definitely make sure you have them on a hard level surface like tile or wood, carpet is useless. I picked up a nice cheap set in sports direct that seem to do the trick pretty well. Once you have a set just stick to it and then at least there's some internal consistency. Also try to weigh at the same time, (morning!)

    I love this scale. It is consistent. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001KXZ808/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    hard floor is essential. We have an ancient analogue scale - we had a digital one but it really did fluctuate madly. If yours is digital try changing the battery :wink:

    I also get comeone else to read it for me as it moves if I bend down, and the divisions are in 2lb sections.
