Hello All...

I have had it up to here   *holds hand waay above head*  with my scale

I bought this cheapo walmart scale at the beginning of my journey... about 4 months ago. And I weigh myself on it everyday. And I do not know if the battery is getting weak (??) or what... but it can give me 3 different weights, if I weigh myself 3 times in a row, one right after the other

And once my home scale said I weighed more in the morning than my surgeon's scale said in the late afternoon after a whole day of work!!!!!!!!

So, did any of you suffer the woes of the health o matic, peice o craptic?

...also taking recommendations for a new scale

Thanks for reading!

I had a perfectly fine WW scale (I used it for years) but I splurged and bought a fancy schmancy scale that does body fat, etc...I don't really know how to use it for all that, but the weight part is accurate...and it's pretty lol

LOL.....I feel like I get most of my exercise chasing the scale around the tile floor in my bathroom since the "Sweet Spot" tends to move everyday.

I bought a higher end WW scale that does all the BMI stuff. So far so good. Every once in a while it will give me a different reading but that's because it get's unbalanced on my tile.

I have one of the biggest loser scales. It is kinda fritzy too, though. It's digital, and I can totally identify with trying to find the sweet spot on the floor where it will take a reading! I finally moved it over by the hamper, and for some reason, I haven't been having to move it around.
