Can you guys tell me what scales you all use? I have a Taylor brand scale. At first it was good, but now I have to step on it 5x just to get my average weight! :-P One min I'm 260, the next I'm 275! Agh. I have a WII that I use for my weekly weigh-ins, but I would like to have a dig. bathroom scale to use daily to keep on track. Oh, and I would like it to measure like 265.2, 265.3, etc. Any suggestions? THANKS!!! :)

Does your scale use a battery and you need new battery?

I have a Tanita 834 i think. The scale measure not just weight but also body fat, percentage water, bone density, etc.
You can stay the same weight but the breakdown of that one number is important. Now I am working on increasing my body water, and decreasing my body fat.

For the record, you should never weigh yourself more often than once a week. your body weight fluctuates every day, so why bother|?

i have tanita ironman. those bodyfat etc. readings are way off, but it's good to see trends (get it to go down is good).

forgot... digital weight to tenths is spot on on tanitas... tested with calibration weights. i used it for boxing.
