Help I Need a Scale that Works

kathleenmary73

I currently have a scale I paid $90 for, it talks, but for how many times she tells me 'goodbye' a lot of good it does me. I tap it, she says "I'm ready" and I get on. Granted, I will admit that I am a big woman, but the scale weighs up to 500 pounds so that should not be a problem, it is digital so I don't have to worry about reading lines or having it go side to side, up and down---but I do! If I get on it 5 times it gives me 5 weights and I have to stand on it for a good while before it stops rolling--that's why I'm thinking she just gives up after awhile and says "Goodbye" because she just doesn't want to deal with me any more. I've concluded that i am not steady, unbalance when standing on that little 12 inch surface, but for $90 shouldn't it give me a steady accurate reading? I'm ready to pitch the dang thing and buy a new one but before I invest a lot of money AGAIN I need advise on what to get. Help

what you have described is that you are too wobbly on the scale and it can't give you a number because you are all over the place. If that is the issue, I'd probably just go find the biggest digital scale you can find.

More stability will be better.
