Whats your recommendation on an accurate bathroom scale. Seems like mine is very inconsistent.
I don't mind spending a little extra $ on a scale that's going to be accurate.
Thanks!

A few years ago I bought a doctor's scale at an antique store. It's big and cumbersome and I keep it in the basement. It is the most accurate one I've ever had and I LOVE the old fashioned movement of the weights!0

I have a health o meter scale which is very reliable and consistent. I like to weigh myself several time just to make sure, and it is always the same, all 5,6,7,8 times!
However, it needs a very solid floor. I had it downstairs (town home without basement) and it was always accurate. Then I took it upstairs and it started being completely inaccurate. I was very upset, wanted to get my money back, looking for a new scale. Until one day I decided to take it downstairs again. I weighed myself 10 times and lo and behold, completely consistent! So now I have to keep it downstairs in its place (it doesn't like to be moved around and shoved somewhere, it likes to be somewhere stable).
All in all I am very happy with it! It y gives me pounds, bmi,total pounds lost, pounds to goal weight, body fat %, water%. I am very happy with it.0 -

That's a link to the scale I own. It's been dead on consistent for years.
EDIT: After linking this, I noticed that it got a lot of bad reviews. I use it on a ceramic tile floor and haven't had any real issues in all the years of owning it. Every once in a while (once every six months or so), it will give a reading that is off by a couple pounds. Whenever my weight isn't what I expect, I tap it to reset it and it has always come back with a more accurate reading the second time.0 -
I just got a cheap one at walmart and it's actually pretty consistent.... I can weigh myself two times in a row and it will give me the same (to the tenth of a pound) It's called health-o-meter or something like that. It's white. I think I spent like $20 on it.0

I got mine from Walmart a few years ago the brand is Health O Meter. It lets you save up to 4 people in your household. You put in your Age and every time you get on it tells you how much you've lost altogether and body % fat, but I'm not sure how accurate the body % fat is. It was about $35, great deal for all it does. I love seeing how far I've come every time I step on.0
