I am the weight recorder of a weight loss group so I have the scale in my possession, I have it plugged in my bathroom and use it every morning. About a month ago I bought a digital scale from Amazon so I wouldn't have to use the "expensive" scale... but I've been using both because I wanted to get an accurate lb difference between the two.
My problem is, is that the Amazon scale fluctuates dramaticly everyday while the other scale doesn't.
So my question is, what is the best bathroom scale to use that I can just go purchase?

I bought the "Ozeri ZB21-W WeightMaster 400 lbs Digital Bath Scale" on Amazon. I have found this scale extremely accurate. In fact, it matched the scale exactly to the one that was used for my weigh-in last month when I did a powerlifting meet. I keep the scale in the same spot. If it happens to get moved, I weigh myself once, then step off the scale then weigh myself again. This scale will automatically calibrate whenever it gets moved.1

Some scales have a smoothing "feature" that keeps telling you the same weight unless your weight has changed by more than a couple of pounds or so.
Having two scales is like having two watches. If you have one watch you know what time it is but if you have two watches you are never sure because the watches have different times.
I would just pick one and stick to weighing with it.2
