in Health and Weight Loss
I purchased a scale sometime last year (only weighed myself two or three times then became discouraged so I packed it away). When I decided to commit to changing my lifestyle, I pulled it out and weigh myself once a week now. I went to my doctor's office two weeks ago, and they weighed me in at 8lb lighter than what my scale at home read! I went back yesterday for a quick BP check (which turned out to be perfect!) and had them weigh me again--and yes, I was 8lb lighter than what my scale had read once again.

Unfortunately, there is no way (that I know of) to calibrate a digital scale--it is a Sunbeam Health O Meter. I want to purchase a new one, so my question is: what do you recommend?

    I have an eatsmart basic digital scale that i bought off of amazon. They say to calibrate, make sure its on a hard even surface then press down on it to turn it on,dont step on, let if turn off then weigh yourself.

    If you haven't used it for over a year, in addition to red_road's suggestions, it may need a new battery. I know mine weighs incorrectly if it needs a battery.

    Unfortunately, I need my correct weight in order to use my HRM.
