Hi Alex! :)

Here's the one I use.

I paid $27.00... and worth EVERY cent! :) :) :)
Looks like it's now available for $24.00.

Remember to use it on a flat solid surface (not carpet or rug). ;)

Alex, is your scale digital?  Be sure it's not just the battery before you buy another one.  I'm sure you've checked that, but remember this is coming from a blonde! lol  ;D  I love my scales because it shows the weigh in .2 increments.  You can tell even if you've lost just a little bit.   ;)

Hi Alex! :)

I assumed this... But you know what they say about assuming! ::)

Like Maddysmom says, if your scale is digital, try replacing the battery BEFORE replacing the entire scale.

I use this one and love it. Had it for years. I don’t use any of the fancy features except the weight, but it’s always dead on perfectly accurate.

lol.. I promise I checked the battery.. No one wants to tell, but I think one of the smaller kids may have broken it.. I even had hubby try to fix it...

Tony, I like what I read on the scale you have..

Jan & F2S, what type of scale do you have?

Alex mine is a Weight Watcher's digital scale.  I have had it for several years, but I did have to spend more at the time to get one that would weigh me.  I think mine goes up to like 400 lbs.  Can't remember the actual cost of the scale itself, but with shipping and everything, I paid $68.
