Accurate scales? Recommendations?

I've had a feeling that mine aren't accurate, so I've been testing them a bit. Today they have fluctuated between telling me I'm 11stone 1 to 13 stone 5! I've been hopping on and off and getting different readings, so I'm certain it's not just daily weight fluctuations.

I like to weigh daily, then put the results into an app that smoothes out the trend, but it's getting ridiculous,

(FWIW, I'm trying to go from 13 stone 11 to under 10 stones, so these fluctuations are not helpful!)

Soehnie 63317 Exacta scales are brilliant, very accurate. Not the cheapest, about £35, but they work!

Should have said they have taken me from 14 stone 9lbs to 13stone 6lbs so far. Trying to get to 10ish stone!

Good luck with your weight loss!

Etekcity £13.99 from Amazon. I was having the exact same problem with my scales, not good when you are counting every pound. So I bought the above scales,they are brilliant. I realised my old scales were out by about 6lb, which was a bit of a shock, when I thought I was lighter than I was. Good luck with with your goal weight.

Thank you.

In was actually looking at the etekcity ones earlier.

Are the Soehnie ones also body fat/ composition? How does that work?
