reliable scale

Anyone have any recommendations for a reliable scale? I get so frustrated with mine. Depending on where I stand on it, it can fluctuate about 5 lbs. I have resorted to bobbing up and down repeatedly, and then just taking the highest reading. But honestly, when you are working so diligently, you want a scale that tells you what's really going on.
I need one that goes up past 250, as my hubby is large. Thanks.

Yes there is a good one at walmart. It is a digital one and it will weight up to 400 lbs. Also it keeps track for up to 4 people and it also keeps track of your last weight when you had weighed in. It is called Health O Meter for around $39.99.0

I have a Taylor from Sams Club
I think it was $35
but it goes up to 330lbs
and it guarantees a 0.2 lb closeness
ive had mine for a yr or so and it works great0 -
i bought a digital one at Target about three years ago for $19.00...works well but for about two years I didnt bother getting on it so it is pretty new0

We just got our first scale for the house a week ago. WalMart, Target or any place like that have good ones for $18-50. Digital.
Also if your house is pier and beam you may have a soft spot (board) in the floor and that could cause a little fluctuation. Make sure you have a solid base for it to sit on.0 -
Lithium scales tend to give the most accurate reading. They are digital and you can get them at Target and Walmart for about $400

Thank you, everyone. I am going to try a digital Health-O-Meter, I think. I appreciate all your input.:flowerforyou:0

I purchased mine from scale it.com. It is very affordable and you can choose a scale that will go up to 1000 lbs if you need it. Mine goes up to 500 lbs. I am not even close to that weight, but I wanted a scale that I did not fluctuate so much.:happy:0

:blushing: hmmmm...:blushing: I just realized the scale I have now IS a Health-O-Meter. But it is not digital. So.... Should I try a digital by the same company, or go with another manufacturer????:frown:0 -
my suggestion is Taylor they say they are the leaders in Digital Scales...and Mine is always accurate0
