Can anyone recommend some *accurate* bathroom scales, pref under $100.

I don't need the body fat compostion part, but don't mind if it comes with the scale.

I'm sick of being able to step on my current scale 10 times and get 10 wildly different readings.

Thanks!

I got a pretty inexpensive WW brand set from Target. They were around $30 from memory, and seem pretty good.

Where did you get yours from? I'd pay good money for scales to tell me that! Lol

can't remember my old one's brand, LOL i did love seeing 45-50kg..but when my size 12 clothes started getting tight..i had to admit perhaps it may be 'slightly' out LOL.

We have WW ones from Target! Usually if it gives you odd readings, you change the battery and it fixes it!

I must have a dud set of WW ones, I bought them a year ago and from the beginning, I've had funny readings.

The display would actually change, multiple times, by up to a kilo, while standing still on them! If the reading didn't seem right, I'd step off, get back on, and it would have fluctuated wildly. Drove me so nuts I ended up turfing them, now I just weigh in at WW meetings original.gif
