Hey all,

Not so much fitness equipment but its related I guess... that and I really couldn't find a place to put this. I am looking for a relatively inexpensive yet reliable/accurate scale. I have large feet (13 1/2) and that has given me problems in the past with most cheap scales due to the fact that if I stand on them one way it reads higher or lower than if I stand a different way. Any and all help is appreciated!

I have size 16 shoes, and on a good quality scale (say $20 to $30), I can get a consistent reading.

Just shed your clothes (including shoes, and socks), balance the scale, and make sure to stand on it the same way every time. I normally pull my toes up so I rest on the balls of my feet back to my heels.
