Does anyone here use digital scales?

I recently bought a new scales, and now every time I use them I get a different weight, not sure if they have to be reset or something. I have looked in the instuctions, and the battery ccan't be flat. Not sure whats going on, it's very annoying.

    Depends on the quality of the scale and location.
    I have a "Biggest Loser" digital scale on a ceramic floor and it reports within .2lbs on multiple weighs.
    If you have it on carpet, try it on a hard/flat surface.

    They cost me $40, I do keep them under my bed, and but move them onto my bathroom floor and weigh myself there.

    I just use my roommates really cheap IKEA old school, analogue scales. It's not ideal because my vision isn't crash hot enough to make out more than a half kilo difference :)

    My sister has a fancy digital scale with a giant display that goes to a 10th of a kilo (eg 55.6kg). I try and weigh myself whenever I visit but it's usually in the afternoon after I've eaten a few meals so I don't track those measurements so as not to wreck my consistency.

    I do the same thing-- my scale is very sensitive to where it is on the floor.

    I have the same problem! For example, one time this scale said I was 110 then when I went to the gym I was 125. SO I feel your pain! ITs annoying!

    If you move the scale be sure to zero it out before stepping on. My Taylor scale will sometimes add as much as 5 pounds if I don't zero it before stepping on.

    It resets itself
