I've had my bathroom scales for a couple of years now and they really need replacing as the numbers they give me are all over the place. To prove a point to my husband I told him to jump on, weigh himself, jump off and jump back on and weigh himself again. The second time around the numbers given were 6lb different to the first time... I've messed about with it too and now I have no clue what weight I really am.
So, I need to buy some new ones and whilst I'm not number obsessed it's nice to know that I'm going in the right direction, y'all KWIM... I'm in the UK so I don't know if all the lovely gadgety American branded ones that you guys can purchase are available over here, but I would value any recommendations
Thanks in advance you lovely people, have a great Tuesday!

Hi! I am looking for a more accurate scale too. I am thinking of purchasing the weight watchers scale. Here's a link for the Top 10 Best Bathroom Scales (as cited in Independent). http://www.independent.co.uk/extras/indybest/gadgets-tech/the-ten-best-bathroom-scales-1852467.html?action=gallery&ino=10

This is the scale I have and I love it. Whenever I have problems with it... which has only been one time (and it was user error), I emailed their costumer support and they emailed me back immediately. It runs very closely to the scale at the doctors and our wellness liason's offices.0 -

See, I have a Weight Watchers scale at the moment and I bought it after having a different type of Weight Watchers scales so I'm a wee bit cautious in getting another one. Thanks for sending me that link I'll have a look at it in a few, I appreciate your reply

I have this one. Not only is it pretty accurate, but it looks nice too.

I have this scale too. I got it off of amazon.com. Reasonably priced and gives me a consistent weight every time.0 -
Tanita scales are great, I have had one for 12 years and is still accurate, just don't pay attention to what it says for bodyfat, wicked innacurate.0

Also from the UK. I got mine from LLoyds chemist - they do Bio impedance body fat analysis too (I know this isn't a reliable method of measuring but it's still fun!)
I got them a few years ago, but I think this is the latest version:

I have a weight watchers scale as well and I really like. It's only about $35 at Walmart.0

Hi I'm in Canada and just bought this scale and really like it. I just finished Phase 2 of the HCG diet and had to weigh myself every day and i had picked up a cheap scale at Walmart that jumped around after a few weeks. There would be a 4 or 5 lb discrepancy so I took it back and bought a Conair Weight Watcher scale. It is much more consistent and is never more that .4 of a lb different.

I bought mine at Costco but Walmart had it as well (at a higher price) and was $25.00.0
