HELP ~ Weight Scale????

ctroni

I think its time for a new scale!!! My old scale gives me a different weight each time I step on it ~ within minutes, first thing in the morning, and without eating or drinking. I am going to buy one today. What brand do you use??? Help!!!!

I had the same problem with my scale recently, I was getting 8+ lbs variations between repeated weighs to just to try and get a double confirmation. I tried a Body Fat scale only for it to work three times then 'pop' and stop working right. So I took it back to Wally-World and got the following:

So far it has worked reliably with double confirmations. I have even tested it with small weights <1 lbs to make sure it just wasn't remembering the last weight. I can say I have used it for 1.5 weeks and I am still happy with it. Otherwise my next option was to go for a balance beam scale like this:

I use one of the weight-watchers branded scales they sell at walmart (it's actually made by Conair, I think). It's glass with a digital display. Its calibration seems to be off by around 5 pounds (for me, anyway; not sure if that's consistent at all weights), but it is at least consistent with its own readings. I can step on the scale, move it around the room, step on it again, and it'll give me the same reading, right to the tenth of a pound. Since I just want to be able to track trends and make sure I'm going in the right direction over time, it's enough for me.

I recently replaced mine and like this one - very basic, inexpensive, and accurate:

Thanks for the input. I just ordered one from amazon after reading several reviews. Wish me luck.
