Mightyqueen, my scale did the same thin about two months ago. I couldn't revive the thing no matter what.
My mistake was not replacing it (yet) ... when it told me I lost 4 pounds I was exhilarated beyond words.
I was working hard to lose that weight an earned that stellar moment. Then I got back on, to double check. Yes. Within that same minute I gained 14 lbs. ��
Then I tried all possible ways to ressurect it, but it had seen the bottom of my feet for the last time.
We parted ways, and I have been dragging my feet to buy a new one.
The poster on the previous page spoke of this one. (Thank you for the enlightenment Sean Kellog)

I will. Ya never know.. this might be just the right camaraderie that is "the charm".
Actually, because of your generosity: Join the crowd. We can all encourage one another.
I thought, "Sure, why not"? I hopped on board and it felt good!
I found myself returning the ingredients for a blueberry pie back to the fridge... and thought about tossing the berries into a salad instead.
Its made a difference already. So thank you for your kindness.��. The first STEP to watching the numbers on the scale go down.
Before the day is over, why not share one thing that will encourage and motivate us too?
Are you game?

Reason: sp.
As with any scale of this type, always keep it on a level and uncarpeted surface, and weigh yourself at the same time each day (I do first thing in the a.m.) This one is the most accurate I have ever had - always just like at my doctor's office.
The scale I ordered arrived yesterday. Wow..its waaaay nicer than I thought it would be.
This model: EATSMART PRECISION PLUS DIGITAL SCALE.
A digital screen with nice big blue numbers so I don't have to weigh in with glasses on.
I was afraid to get on the scale because I physically felt I had gained several pounds, (there were donuts involved) so I waited till morning. Nice surprise to see numbers were four pounds less than I thought.
What a relief.
I think time away from the scale definitely made me wander to many forbidden food as though I were invisible.
...but now having the scale there fills that penchant wandering with conscience and accountability.
I love my new scale. Mama is home!
We have a digital scale sitting on a tile floor - we noticed when we first got it that if the feet of the scale were on the grout lines of the tile floor, it threw off the scale balance and we'd get a wrong measurement. So, we now always keep each foot of the scale firmly on the tiles themselves. We tend to never move the scale either - it's always in the exact same spot, and we've told our housecleaner not to move it to clean (we use our own small duster to clean underneath it every week).
It's not really necessary to spend too much to get a decent scale.
After going through at least 3 scales myself I finally did the research and got this.
I am very happy with this one and it is right on every time regardless of how and where you stand on it. I even compared it to the one in the Doctor's office.
I like analog scales......most of them have an adjustment that allows you to
zero-out most of the error in your readings.
You weigh yourself on a scale that you know is very accurate......then compare that to the readings you get on your analog scale and simply adjust for the difference.
It works fine, and if it breaks it's only $20. (In the overall scheme of things, how much money are you saving every week by not eating so much junk food and snacks while dieting?)
Re accuracy, I have found that my weight varies 3-4 pounds throughout the day, depending on how much I've had to eat/drink, etc. Weighing myself first thing in the morning at home at least gives me a consistent baseline to compare against, but I know that I'm dehydrated at that time and the numbers are going to be higher when I show up at the doctor's office for an afternoon appointment after drinking tea all day. Anyway, it hardly matters to me if the scale is accurate to within a tenth of a pound.... the numbers are all approximate anyway.
