Won't make those unwanted pounds magically disappear, but its stylish and easy to use
Great scales, streamlined, stylish, and easy to use. Although made of glass, it is sturdy enough for every day use as long as you don't use it as a trampoline. So no jumping and jiggling it to try to get the thing to forget about that chocolate eclair and the two brownies you binged on!  And definitely drop kickicking it when you discover you have gained weight over the holidays.<br /><br />I compared it to my weight on my doctors scales. My old scales were off by 3 lbs (they were 3 lbs lighter, so I have mixed feelings about tossing it out). This scale was dead on!  Guess I will have to lose those pesky 3 lbs. At least it has a bright, easy to read display so that my bleary old eyes can read it as I stumble into the bathroom each morning. Some days, I'm not sure that is such a good thing...Remember, if your self-image is inextricably tied up with the numbers on the scale, you need to weigh yourself first thing in the morning, at the same time each day, making sure to give that special someone a thrill by weighing yourself in the buff. And make sure to do this before you eat or drink. Even then, expect some fluctuations due to water weight. This is especially true for women due to hormonal variations, but if you happen to have grazed your way through a bowl of nachos, gobbled down a bag of salty chips, indulged in a pizza, or hit the local salt lick, expect to weigh more the next day regardless of your sex.<br /><br />Note: I had chucked my old scales out weeks earlier, so when I first looked at my weight on this thing, my heart leaped for joy. Then, I realized the scale was in kilograms. It took multiple tries on my part to convert it to pounds, so hang in there. It will come around. Of course, you may not be all that happy when it does. I rather liked only weighing 45% of my normal weight.
