what kind of scale should I get?

I have a digital scale from weight watchers and I swear it doesn't work right. I can weigh myself 3 times in a row and get different weights. I want a new one. What do you guys suggest?

I have a needle one, it seems pretty accurate to me. What I would suggest is that if you have a 5 pound dumbbell, take ur scale all over the house until it keeps accurately measuring 5 pds (5 pd dumbbell or whatever weight you have). I did that with my needle one!

I bought the Biggest Loser scale by Taylor on sale at Target. It kind of looks like this: http://www.amazon.com/Taylor-Lithium-Digital-Readout-Instant/dp/B0045AUJZW/ref=sr_1_31?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1301786936&sr=1-31

It gets specific to .2 pounds, which I like (many cheap ones just do .5 pounds).

Funny thing though: be careful if you take pics of the number - there's a little mirror/glass around the number, so you get the whole view looking from your feet up!! haha

I love my Target weight watcher scale...you have to be careful to put it in an area of your floor that is sound....not on carpeting or soft tile. I weigh in at TOPS on Mondays and it is .2 off from their scales.

I just got an "EatSmart" scale from amazon.com and absolutely love it. It reads the same weight if you keep stepping on it. Here is the link for it.

I've had 2 of the weight watchers scales and they are so inaccurate it's not funny. Mine did the same thing I could weight 5 times after one another and get 5 different readings.
I got a cheap one from crazy clarks (Bath House brand) for 10 bucks which is spot on.

I went to Walmart and bought the scale that measures body fat % and water % apparently it's accurate within .1?? It was $30 and we love it. You also get to program into it your age, height and gender and it saves your previous weigh-in only.

Tons of different ones here: http://www.walmart.com/search/search-ng.do?search_query=body+fat+%+scale&ic=48_0&Find=Find&search_constraint=0

I have a curves scale that I bought from Avon. I have the problem you are talking about once in a while and it usually just means the battery needs to be changed. As soon as you chnage it, you should notice that stops.

I purchased this one, and have been very pleased with it:

I have this same one since January and it is always consistent.
