Question About Scales

I just wanted to know what you guys thought about digital scales. I have one and I feel that my weight bounces around alot. Should I go by a new one that is not digital?

Tye

Mine does that too. every once in awhile, I check the gym or doctor's scale to see if it's about right, and it usually is. I'm not sure why it does that!

I know I read somewhere that if you're not on the first floor, it might be a little off. I don't know how true that is and why, I'm not too into physics.

I use digital and it has never been off. I spent a bit of money on it, knowing that digital can bounce. But we bounce weight wise if you are weighing everyday too so...

I bought a digi scale (a nice one) and have had very steady results from it. The digis are the only ones I can read because of my eyesight, so I dont know about the "rotary" ones!!!

I spent some money on mine too, but it would bounce around. I know that if I weigh everyday it will be different but I was to the point to where in a matter of hours I could lose 10 lbs after eating a meal! So much for the money I spent on it.
I just went and got an analog one, it is harder to read...(i have to put my reading glasses on to see it ) but that is okay...i feel like I am actually going to know what I weigh.
