My experience shopping for a bathroom scale.

This is just funny. I was at walmart the other day and I was eyeing up bathroom scales.. Again.. Agfter not owning one forever.

Anyhoo. I decided to step on one of them.. It was just a classic, simple bathroom scale. Not digital or anything and appeared to be calibrated properly. I came up at just a smigin over 180 lbs. Awesome. Just for poops and giggles I decided to try another one, the same style just a little more expensive. Also appeared to be calibrated correctly... I came up at just over 200lbs!

I ALMOST opened a digital scale and pulled the battery tab. But if I did that I would've had to buy it.

I just shook my head and walked away.. I still don't know how much I actually weigh. :laugh:

    A few months ago I decided my scale wasn't working properly so I went and bought a fancy one. BMI calculator, percentiles for kids, graphs, etc. Then I found every time I stepped on it my weight would fluctuate up to 14 lbs. Tried putting my 20 lb dumbbells and they didn't even register. I returned the scale the next day. Still using old reliable.
