scales

Hello,

I bought scales about a month ago after reading reviews and seeing that they were good ones. However, I get 3 different weight options everytime I weight myself and none are similar! What to do? Should I stick to weighing myself in Boots (pharmacy) and see if I can swap these scales over as it might be a fault?

Thanks
Caz

    I really believe all scales have the same problem. I bought a Tanita about a year ago, and it is a very accurate scale. I even tested it with a 5 lb. bag of sugar and it weighed exactly. However, sometimes just getting on the scale a little bit differently, or anything can read a different weight. How often do you weigh? I 'peek', but count my weigh-ins once a month. The majority of people weigh once a week. If you weigh 2 or 3 times a day, take the average of the three or just take the lowest weight. Hope this helps.
