Part of dieting and weight-loss is weighting yourself on a regular basis, during my last weight-in I noticed that my scale wasn’t leveling properly. (it was a dial scale) I later noticed after weighting myself on another scale that my scale was actually 10 lbs off. Pretty cruel joke for someone working on loosing weight. Anyways this started my search for a new scale, I actually bought two and ended up returning them to the store. One was ran on watch style batteries, not one but 4 of them the amount of money it would cost to replace the batteries cost more than the scale itself.
