My digital scale is kinda old, I guess, and it doesn't always give a consistent reading. I always weigh until I get the same reading twice, and assume that's the right one. This morning, though, I have weighed no fewer than 20 times, and have yet to get the same reading twice. The variance was almost 25 pounds! Come on!!!!! I think I've had a good week, but it's hard to tell when the scale says I've gained 3 pounds AND lost more than 20 in less than a minute.
So...can anyone suggest a good, reliable scale?? Thanks!

    I like my Withings scale, it is the one with bluetooth.

    You may well need a new scale, but have you checked the batteries first?

    I have a Withings scale as well. The Bluetooth connection to my phone app isn’t super reliable for me, so I just enter the number manually.

    I had not even thought about the batteries! I'll definitely give that a try! Thanks!

    That's why i stopped using a digital scale. I have a dial type now and it works great everytime. :)
