Any recommendations for digital scales that are consistent and don’t fluctuate?

[laurajetter]

I’ve been on a weight loss journey and the days I weigh in are important to me so I can monitor myself and stay motivated. I have a digital scale that seems fine, but it has an annoying aspect that if you were to weigh yourself three times in a row, it could possibly give you three different weights, sometimes 2-3 lbs in either direction. Other times if you were to weigh yourself three times in a row it would stay the same (or only alter a negligible amount, which is fine).

I’m tired of seeing a lower weight, getting excited, try it again to be sure and then it’s higher.

I only use the scale on a hard, smooth floor, but I do have to slide it away from the corner of the room each time by about 6-12 inches (there is no place to put it where I can avoid having to do that).

I almost feel like it detects if I stepped onto it too delicately then it shows a lighter weight, or maybe my weight isn’t distributed just perfectly. This might all be in my head though.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a reliable digital scale that isn’t so sensitive to fluctuation? I don’t necessarily need a scale with all the bells and whistles, just something I can trust the weight that it’s showing.

I have a Health o meter one I got from Amazon. It's very consistent, even if I get on it 2 or 3x in a row

There's no bells or whistles and I haven't had to change the battery in the 2 years I've had it.

Model # is HDR743DQ3-41 if you're interested in looking it up

I have one by Taylor I think that I got at Costco. It doesn't seem to do that and I do step on it a few times when I'm shocked by the number, lol!

We couldn't find one that didn't fluctuate (some more than 2-5 pounds). We went out and just bought an old-fashioned physician balance scale. It's always perfect.

This is the one we purchased.

Love your name! My username for most things is Smurfygirl, lol

Thanks for the recommendation, I’d love to have that type of scale but there’s no extra space in our bathroom.

Thanks, I’ll look it up!

I recently got a Vitafit off Amazon and it is very consistent. Less than $15.

I got one from Lark through work that seems decent

Ha! I’m taking the low # in that case.

Seriously, though, I would start with whatever fitness app/tracker you use and back into which scale to buy based on recommendations/compatibility from that.

Actually, it's not a lot of floor space, just about 11 X 14".

I am on my second scale from Greater Goods. The last one lasted over 8 years and was still going, but I wanted one that updated through the app via wifi and not bluetooth.

It's expensive but I really like the app and how my weight and other measurements automatically gets updated. I also like how every person in the house has a different setting so I don't see my DH's weight suddenly in my app when the bluetooth reconnects.
