Lately it's been a little depressing though! My weight has gone up a half a kilo BUT my body fat percentage has dropped...I guess thats the main thing eh?

I think I have the same Tanita scale as you. It's really annoying seeing yor weight go up but if my body fat % goes down at the same time I'm happy - it just means you have more water that day than the last time you weighed.

I don't think any home scales will ever work for me or maybe my house is just lopsided they always weigh at least 3 pounds less than ones at the doctors/ww/Boots. That could be because I can't be bothered taking my shoes off in Boots though. Oh well I pay £30 for scales and then end up still going to Boots.

Scales are definitely put on earth to drive us mad.

i use a non digital hanson cheapo from argos that was £6.99

it is pretty reliable (spelling??) but i sometimes weigh myself at my friends house in the afternoon and on hers im 2lbs lighter ( which is fine with me ) but im not that fussed really as long as it keeps track of my weight loss im fine with it .

btw i weigh myself every morning after going the loo and before food or drink in the same place downstairs.

haha i can never trust my bathroom scales. they said I was 9stone last time I tried (and I know i've put on a lot of weight lately so i must b more around 10) but my house is completely un even. u can't find an even patch! it's one of my excuses to not weight myself bad me...!

i personally dont trust scales if youve been exercising muscle wiegh more any way. my method is a pair of jeans hung on the back of my bedroom door that i used to wear before my second child.The further they go up my thighs the happier i am!
