What scale do you use and do you trust it?

I have a salter marble tile scale and I am thinking it might be off. I changed the batteries so that should not be an issue. Might be time for a new scale.

Just feels like its reading lower than it should. (I know not a bad thing lol)

I use a Taylor 7009 Lithium digital scale I got off of Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0006B5NGY

I bought it primarily because it was cheap.

From what I remember of Psychology class in high school, when evaluating a data-testing system, one must look for Reliability and Consistency. It's the only scale I really use, so I can't speak to its reliability (how it stands up to other measures, in this case scales), but I find it to be consistent in its measurements (that is, it reads the same thing now as it did five minutes ago, unless I took a piss or ate something, in which case it reflects those changes.

Like I said, its cheap, and consistent, so if you're looking for a new one without any fancy bells and whistles (i.e. it won't tell you your BF%), I'd recommend it.

I use a cheap digital bathroom scale and I always round my weight to the nearest kilogram. My weight over the last 9 months has been 96 kg (SD = approx. 0.75 kg). Any further precision would obscure rather than ellucidate my situation.

I use a cheap bathroom scale we've had for years. I figure it's probably inaccurate, but so long as it's inaccurate in the same way every day, that's not a problem.

I put it on the same spot on the floor, zero it out and stand on it in the same spot, and I find that I get consistent measurements.

I suppose if I get down to 8% and every movement on the scale matters, I'll get something better, but until then, I'll settle for consistent inaccuracy. :lol:
