    Mine is messed up to..i can step on and then step off and right back on and weigh 5 pounds more...

    i just stepped on a min ago and it said 202.8 then i got right back on and it said 201.8 and then back on and it said 202.8 again so i thought im gonna drink a bunch of water and get back on cause it always goes up when i do that..and it stayed at 202.8..crazy scale.

    :flowerforyou: hahahaha i had the same problem ! i bought a new scale and its working great!...so this is how i check if the scale is correct.

    i put 20lbs dumbells on the scale if it reads 20 then its correct. if it reads more i subtract it from my weight , if it reads less i have to add to my weight. Although no one wants to add to there weight !

    My weight watchers scales have a ten year warranty :D I think anything with a warranty that long has to be worth the money

    You know I think my scale is wonky too, but when I put my free weights on it, it's accurate! I just can't believe that the gym and doctor's scales say the same thing, but my home one is at least 5 pounds lighter. Then again, I leave the clothing on the floor when I'm at home! lol

    The digital scales are nice. Weight Watchers makes a decent one.
    LOVE it too!

    I have a weight watchers scale that tracks gender, hieght, bmi, weight, previous weight, body fat % and water %. I love it but it runs out of batteries ridiculously often! Every 15 weighs or even less, I have to change em :(

    I know your weight changes from day to day, but your gender too??? :-)

    Hahahaha Touche! I meant it more as you can tell your gender and it gives a more accurate BMI. Guys BMI and girls BMI have different ratings I think :)
