I feel like my scale is going all wonky. If I step on, step off, then step back on again the weight changes. Sometimes it takes over 5 times to get a consistent reading. I thought maybe the battery was going, but I swapped it out and still happening. I think it maybe time for a new scale. Anyone have any recommendations? What scale do you use, and are you happy with it?

    I use a digital scale, I don't remember the brand but I got it at Walmart for a reasonable price. I recommend digital if you weigh yourself often like I do!

    I've had this problem with most scales. Even the ones you pay $$$ for. That's why i now have 2 scales. One in the bathroom and one in my en suit. They usually give me a rough idea of what i weigh which is all i need as weight fluctuates all the time. That's also why i only weigh myself once every 2 weeks and once a month during maintenance.

    How ever we do use the Health o Meter Professional Upright Scale 402KL at my work and they are meant to be very accurate. Just don't like the Idea of paying $200+ for one. The rough estimation i get from both my scales is always close to the one at work also.

    Yeah. I don't think I could justify spending that much on a scale. I've been considered the fit bit scale but it is also way up there in price.

    I love this scale! My dad works for a company that has a big upright doctor office style scale, and he said this scale is accurate compared to that one! Sturdy scale, and has a large enough display that I can read it without my glasses!

    I bought a digital scale at Walmart for $17 about a week ago. It's awesome.

    Digital scale from Walmart here- probably the same one the lady above me has. It's just plain and digital and doesn't give me any problems. I dont' know how much you weigh, but the only issue I had when I first started (at 317), it didn't quite like me weighing that much. Often it would give me an E and I would have to re-weigh, but it would eventually show me the weight. But once I got under 300 I had no issues with that.
