    Mine does that too. I just keep getting on until it gives me the answer I want, lol!

  • Mine does the same thing (plus or minus 4 pounds) I move it around on the floor like a crazy person until I get a reading that is the same or lower than the day before... so I just ordered an Omron

I got a weight watchers digital from target. It was around 39. It is very accurate never more than .5 lb difference between it and the expensive ones at my dr or gym.

Mine is a biggest looser scale from target, same price. I love it, except when I had to get new battery so quickly. Lol

I got a weight watchers one from meijers. Very accurate.

I have ww one too. Super accurate

Mine does the same thing (plus or minus 4 pounds) I move it around on the floor like a crazy person until I get a reading that is the same or lower than the day before... :blink: so I just ordered an Omron 400 ($44 from Amazon). But now what if it gets here and tells me I weigh more than the one I already have?? I will be totally ticked off then.

Mine does that when there's something under it (like a dust bunny or something) or the battery is getting low.

Weight watchers seem to produce a better scale. I had mines for almost 10 years and still give accurate numbers. Wal-mart sells them for $29.99 - $44.99.

I had the same issue with my digital scale so I just bought a new one off amazon for $56. It's called "eat smart" I believe, and it also measures your body fat, water, muscle, and bone density. Ironically it does the same thing as my other one and I get a different answer every time.

I only weigh myself at the gym now. They have a fancy high end one that measures just about everything.

I had a weight watchers one and in a fit of rage I threw it out the window, took less than 2 minutes for my dog to mark his territory hahahahaha.

I thought it was hilarious. Man who bought scale, not so much :-D

the scale number actually depend on the floor. we always assume that floor is flat but it is not true. try to move the scale and weight again. I found 3 places in my bathroom where scale shows different numbers. I just choose one which sound more true and always put it there to get weight.
