What kind of bathroom scale is best?

For the longest time, I used my Wii Fit as a scale. It has always been very accurate. It is almost exactly what the scale in the Dr's office says. Anyway, I decided I would like a bathroom scale and I bought the Weight Watcher's scale. The first time I stepped on it today, it read a 5 pound gain since yesterday. I got off and back on. Same thing. OK, I am pretty pissed since I did everything perfect yesterday. I went and checked myself on the Wii and waallaaahhhh...a loss. Went BACK to the digital scale and now only a 1 pound gain. Yes, I am a woman obsessed at the moment. Please don't tell me not to weigh often. I usually don't but today I have an invisible friend jumping on the scale with me and messing with my mind! I still have the receipt and probably will take this sucker back!!! Any good reliable scales out there! Thanks for any input!!

    Brand doesn't matter. Just find one, stick with it and weigh in around the same time of day.

    Is your floor uneven? That can cause scales to be off.... I weigh myself every morning, so don't worry about that. Just use one scale and stick to it.

    I wanted a scale I could get on without dealing with turning on the Wii just to get my weight (I go to the gym). I think next time I am near Bed Bath & Beyond, it's going back and I can buy myself a cute top somewhere instead!

    Ditto, I also weigh myself in the AM, before anything goes into my mouth. I have an old house with uneven floors so I also go as far as putting the scale in the same spot when weighing. :)
