I have used a Tanita Ironman scale since late 2006. It recently stopped functioning, and I went to wal mart and bought a 25 dollar Weight Watchers scale. I have had the same - down to the .1 of a lb- for the past week. Now, I could see if I was staying about the same, but I would expect to see some fluctuation, either plus or minus a tenth or something, but I have seen no movement. It seems that I need to buy yet another scale. Can anyone out there recommend a scale that they find useful?

I'd return the scale if it's not working. I use the Weight Watchers scale by Conair and love it.

I had a similar problem with a new scale I bought prior to surgery. It would fluctuate 4 or 5 lbs in a matter of minutes and, although it was fluctuating on the lighter side, I knew I hadn't lost 9 lbs overnight. I finally exchanged it for the WW Glass Body Analysis Scale and it seems to work well.

I use my Wii Fit for a scale. It keeps all the information so I don't have to write anything down. Even gives BMI. Love it!

That's a good idea using the wii fit. Automatic recording. Do you find it to be accurate? I guess so, otherwise you wouldn't be using it for that purpose. Regarding the WW scale, I did an experiment, put on jeans, tennis shoes, heavy sweater, hopped on and same number. Then, took it all off, and same number. Then I got a 20# weight and put on it and it measured 19.7, then stood on there with the weight and it gave me about 15 more lbs than what it was giving me previously. I might take it back to wally world, but I don't think I have the receipt any more!!!

Thanks for the input!

Try measuring something you know the weight of like 1 lb of suger. Measured it several times during the day. See if the weight changes.
