Scale dilemna??

I think I need a new scale. Went to weigh in this morning and it read lower than I expected. So a couple of minutes later I went back and weighed again and in those few short minutes.......I gained 5 pounds! Within the hour I tried several times and never came up with the same weight :) So now I want to purchase a new one and was wondering which kind anybody would suggest? And then when I get it, it obviously won't be the same as my old one so how will I record my loss? Just accept that the first week my weight will just be off and not worry about it? Wish I would have bought a new one before I started.:huh: any suggestions will be appreciated!

    Weird question, maybe. Is it on carpet? My scale is always inaccurate on carpet. As far as purchasing a new one, just accept that you'll have a new starting point and work from there.

    My recommendation: EatSmart Precision Digital Bathroom Scale

    Can find it on Amazon

    I've had that same problem with digital scales! I have a WW one and it can flucuate a few pounds. I take the middle of 3.. but i'ts very discouraging!
