    I've got a Health-O-Meter that works really well; they have quite a few models to choose from. I got mine at Kohls with a gift certificate, but I've seen them at Walmart too. When you get a scale, make sure to place it on a hard, solid service (no carpet, rugs, etc) to make sure you get the same reading every time.

    Thanks for the help. I have a old digital scale that I have on tile in the bathroom. I try to keep it in the exact same place, but I am now getting fluxuations up to 10 lbs! The battery can't be replaced, so I think I'm going to have to invest in a new one.

    The one I got takes AA batteries as opposed to the small watch battery-type. Much more convient to replace when they die lol. Hope you find one you like!

    I bought a Taylor. (Canada...London Drugs) You put in your age, height, and sex and it gives you weight, % fat, bone, water and muscle mass. As you muscle mass go up, you may not see weight decrease. I really like it. There are a few models like this. Weight Watchers has one too. Cost $70 Cndn
