Good scale recommendation

I'm constantly tortured by my scale... and cannot take it anymore.

That little piece of crap I paid almost 150 EUR for is driving me crazy :cuss: here's the story: I bought a brand new scale, electronic, with all sort of whistles and bells and it's supposedly very precise etc. However... no two consecutive measurements are identical. I step on it, it says 170 lb. I get off, scratch my head a bit, get back on it without having done anything else, it shows 175. A third attempt will result in 168. I thought it was a battery issue, so I changed it. Same shit. I need to step on and off it some 10-15 times until the damn thing decides it had enough amusement at my expense and starts showing identical measurements a few times in a row.

I'm dumping this little bastard thingie but... does anyone have a recommendation for a decent, trustworthy scale? It doesn't have to be a very sophisticated one (no need for water % etc.) but something I can trust from one measurement to another.

Thanks for suggestions. Oh and please send a hammer my way :smash:
 
get a tape measure.... tape measures never lie... and measure every 2 weeks...

other than that -a scale is basically a scale -just make sure it has f resh battery and it sitting on a flat and solid surface and never moves...
 
Whatever you do - do not have the scale on carpet or a surface that is not flat and make sure that it is in exactly the same place each time. I line mine up via the tiles on my bathroom floor.

I must admit I use a tape measure too - but encounter problems with that because it can be difficult making sure that the tension is always the same.

It takes longer to see differences - but there is something great in monitoring how clothes fit. It is great when you get into a new clothes size. I really like this one!

I am not into photographs - but some people get an amazing record of their weightloss by taking a comparable photograph every couple of weeks. You can really see the changes for some people.
