Default Scale Question?

Just wondering what kind of scale everyone is using? I notice just about everyone posts their weight and has half pounds. I am using a good old cheapo scale and it isnt very percise (I also notice some days it seems like it can vary about 3 lbs.) Maybe I should get a new one (hopefully I can find a cheapo percise one LOL)

I have this really neat Royal digital scale that I bought off ebay for about $35. It was bought for shipping packages (ebay seller) but found that it was quite accurate and started using it for myself as well.

I have a floor style Healthometer like you see in a Dr's office. It's heavy and awkward to get back in the cabinet after each use.
So, I bought a Tanita digital model...weighs in half pound increments, very light weight, and pretty accurate, I think.

Of course, all scales can be pretty hateful at times....LOL!

I have a Tanita, also. Goes in 2/10 lb increments. No special features, except the numbers are big, for my nearsighted eyes. LOL! I've carried it to my dr's office to check it and it's dead on.
