Ok, I realize that SOMEWHERE there are probably 97852903947239478923 threads about this already, but I'm not readily finding them. So, here's the question. I want to get a scale, but have heard that home scales are notoriously inaccurate. What kind of scale can I buy that will be consistently accurate? Thanks.

    I bought digital scales from amazon. I made sure I bought some that had lots of good reviews. They weigh me to the nearest quarter pound and they are very accurate. I was using non-digital ones before, and they were rubbish in comparison. It is much easier for me to track my weight loss with digital scales.

    I have brought a lot of scales in the last few years and they have all been crap. I used to go to some of shopping stores to measure on their big scales because mine were inaccurate, However the best decision I made was to get Nintendo Wii Fit where I find the scale more accurate than any I have had before. It also tracks everything so I can see what I weighed this time last year.
