i personnally dont care if a scale is acurate, as long as it can be

used to monitor gain/ loss,the scales at the dr office can be used

for accuracy and cheap home scales to watch gain/ loos between dr

visits

This gave me such a laugh! We had a digital scale that everyday hubby and I

got on showed us one pound lower than the day before I finally lost 22

pounds be4 my daughter came home and asked what was wrong with the scales.

Other than this our digital scale from Walmart is very accurate it has been

right on with the dr scale for 21/2 years.

My bathroom scale lies like a cheap toupee.

Hello everybody! My " it was $4.99 at Target " bathroom scale lies like a

cheap toupee. It's so warped (in its readings) it's obvious. Tickles my

vanity to " weigh " 10 to 12 lb (approximately) less than I really weigh, but

while that was fine until diagnosis, I really can't tolerate that lack of

accuracy (precision's great, accuracy is the pits).

Suggestions would be welcome. For a new scale, I mean.
