Help buying a scale to weigh myself

Pat_Johnson

Ok well I'm just getting back started on my lifestyle change and I no longer have a scale.Well mostly because it never said what i wanted it to so I got rid of it lol, What should I look for when purchasing one? Also how often should I weigh myself?

Hi Pat!
You body fluctuates 1-2 pounds during the day - I would weigh in just once per week, at the same time. So I weigh myself every monday at 6 (before dinner).

I have a digital scale but I have a feeling it's off...I have to step on it about 5 times to get the same reading consistantly! So if anyone recommends a particular scale, that would be great. I have a Homedics one from Bed Bath and Beyond but it sucks....
