    I bought mine from ASDA for £10 and they are Salter scales, not sure of the exact model but they are glass scales. They do weight in kg, lbs or stones and lbs, body fat % and bmi. Love them!

    I've found my weight varies from scales to scales for some bizare reason (there was a 4lb difference between the scales at home to Weightwatchers) so I always calibrate them first. I use a 1kg bag of sugar, which I know is a true weight, and if the scales read 1kg then I know what I way on those scales will be pretty spot on using whatever scales I have to hand. One tip is weigh yourself in the same place, my weight fluctuates depending on if the scales are on my tiled kitchen floor or on the carpet.

    I managed to get some WeightWatchers scales some time ago, they were reduced in Argos. They are very good, you can add your details into them and the scales will calculate your BMI, body fat percentage etc. They are very accurate and have a switch on the back so you change the unit you want to weigh in, to stones, kg and pounds. Best scales I've ever had!
