I need a new scale (accurate)!

Does anyone have a recommendation? I don't want it to cost a huge amount...

Thanks!

I have three scales at home. The first one I bought was a mid-range digital scale $18 or so, not too expensive and fairly simplistic. I found that if I step off and back on, I came in at different weights . . . . which made me crazy.

. . . . so I bought a different digital scale for about $60, lithium battery which will last forever, weighs down to fractional pounds, supposed to be much better than all the rest . . . and darn it if I didn't step on and step off and come in at a different weight (the weight might be in fractions of a pound but you don't gain/lose 0-3 pounds immediately by stepping off a scale).

. . . . I was annoyed by the whole scale issue and was wandering around target and saw a $7 scale with one of those little display wheels that spins around to your weight, a little old fashioned, white and not really attractive. Would you believe that the cheapest and most simplistic scale technologically was the best. I step off and on and I am always the same. I am absolutely sold on the el cheapo scale and the others are in my closet and will become garage sale fodder. Digital did not work well for me.

I am going to stop at Target after work and take your advice. I think these crazy digital scales are for the birds! :wink2:

I think the old school ones with the spinning wheel is the way to go!!!
