Accurate scale

So my scale crapped out on me. I may or may not have had something to do with that... and it may or may not have been because of it's HORRIBLE inaccuracy and me bashing it to death!! I could get on it 7 times and get 7 different readings. I always went with the reading I saw the most. My weight steadily goes down and it was reading about 203lbs and the next day it kept reading 216! Impossible!! Does anybody have any recommendations???

I know I know but I don't have room in my house. We have one at work but don't they have to be calibrated every once in a while?

All scales need to be calibrated from time to time.  If you have one that can't, that is probably the problem.  There are, of course, some scales that are better than others.  I prefer the manual mechanical ones for accuracy, although I have a teeny tiny electronic one for weighing out grains.  It is all a matter of scale.

We have a slightly more modern version of that one, as well as an older one we inherited.  The modern one is because some fat guy needed one with a counterweight to be able to weigh himself.  But in four more pounds, that counterweight will be unneeded!

I have an Aria Fitbit.  I love it.  I can track my trends and such.   You can get them at walmart for about $129 and Target had them onsale for $99.00 a month of so ago.
