Over the last 3 months I have bought 2 salter body analyzer scales. Both of which are broken already (toddler!!!). I do not have receipts for either so can't bring them back and do not want to get another!! Can't really afford it anyway. I am looking for a cheap scale, that consistently shows the same weight when you step on and off over a couple of mins. I doesn't need to be an analyzer.

Would I be better to go for a mechanical one?? What scales do you have?

    I have the salter one, glass ánd I have two toddlers. Just keep the scales under your bed where they can't get to it!
    Got mine in Argos for I think around €35

    I don't have scales in my house (to tempting to weigh ever day) I go to my local boot's they have a scale and body fat and it costs me 70p and I keep the print outs so can look back and see how far i've come

    I don't know if this is available in Ire/UK, but it really does deserve the high ratings it has on Amazon:

    I've never had a scale that gives such consistent results.

    This is exactly what I do, I just do it once a week then. Do have a nosey on the Wii, but I only count the Boots scales weight.

    This is what I do too! So useful and consistent! :smile:
