Can anyone recommend really good bathroom scales. At the moment I am using Salter Maxiview. I have had them for about three years. They are supposed to be guaranteed for 15 years but needless to say I have junked the paper work and am probably too lazy to enter into any hassle anyway. They have never been very accurate but as an example this morning early I weighed 11stone 3 lbs. 2 hours later I weighed 11stone 5 lbs. Ten minutes later I weighed 11stone 1 lb. Very confusing. So from that I can only assume I weigh a few pounds over 11 stone. I would like to be more accurate so would welcome any suggestions. Except stop weighing yourself so often, you are obsessive! I only did this today so that I could illustrate my point.

I already said that douglas. Pay attention please, this is serious! ☺☺☺
Do you have them a level surface Starbuck? I use to weigh myself on the carpet and found that it was different all the time so I now keep my scales in my utility room on tiles which are completely level.
Every bodies wieght goes up and down during the day, they do recommed that you only weigh your self once a week at the same time wearing the same or simlar clothing, guess this is advice from salter to avoid this type of issue,lol

I am a big guy and weigh more than the avaerge set of scales can manage so I went to a shop specalizing in scales, they sold every thing from small spring scale that a fisherman may use to scales to weighing trucks, (this was in auistralia but im sure he uk would have something in the yellow pages).

I purchased a set of medical standard digetel scales that can do eith pound or kilos and has 5 save buttons so the whole family can store he weight they were the equivelent of around 120 pounds 5 years ago, just need new batteries every year and they have never missed a beat, but still have lost much weight

I've got it on a level surface as far as I can see - in the shower room which is a wooden floor covered with non-slip lino stuff - probably rhinofloor or something like that. The weight showing has sometimes been as much as 7 lbs in a day - impossible I would think even if I ate a huge amount more than I usually do. I know I am obsessive about weighing and do it more than I should but even so I would expect it to be more or less the same, or nearly so. Thanks for your help everyone. As chris says, I may need to get professional help to choose.

Oops I should have said varies as much as 7 lbs in a day.
I have a body composition (percentage fat) scale so I get my weight and most important the persentage of fat I'm carrying. They seem to work fine although I only use them once a week.
