Hello every one I"d like to tell you a story about buying a cheap $20.00

scale. I started out my Quest to lose weight, because my Doctor told me I had to. I'd like to tell you I' thought of it for the past twenty years, but that's not the case. I, bought a scale at menard's $20. started at 310 pound's have really

been eating alot less. smaller portion's lot's of Water lot's of walking & walking

some more & even a little jogging. I thought I, was down to 264 after to month's

I got up weighed my self 3 time's 264 wow im doing good steped back on that cheap scale now I weighed 220 then 215 what the heck is going on!!!!!

Here's the catch < went up and bought a new one life time warrinty > it is a Medical scale steped on it and I really weighed 274 I felt so bad like was beat up I' would of rather took a beating the have that Ten pound's back on.......

I. almost just gave up it was a tuff day the juck food was looking good!

But then I' looked in the mirrow my face was slimmer I' still was down 34 Plus pound's... so learn from my mistake.....buy a good Scale!!!

Take care God bless you all.....John

AW man! Bummer! But you DID lose, so that's really great. I went ahead and spent $40 on a good digital at Target, it measure to the tenth of a pound and has been accurate so far, so I'm happy. I had a $10 scale and, well, what you said, but it didn't trick me into believing I had lost all kinds of weight! I might have kept it! lol
