digital or non digital??
I now have both, but my digital scale may need to be replaced? batteries? and yo-yoing with different weights?
Which one should I trust?
Trying to lose, but I have limited my self to weighing only twice a month for now, because the losing battle is so hard.

I have both also.  I only use the digital.  My regular scale actually weighs me 10 pounds lower.  Of course this is wrong, I have compared it with the doctors scale.  I really do prefer the digital.

I also have both. I prefer the digital,I belive it is more accurate.  It doesn't change if you get off and right back on like the old one.  That drove me nuts!

With scale it is important to make sure it sits on a leveled surface, carpet may give "wobbly" results. Also replace batteries and see if that helps. 

I have 10+ years old digital scale. Still worked good. It shows me I am not tall enough.

I've got a Digital that I got from Wal-Mart some years ago. Not very expensive but it agrees with the doc's scale so I know it to be true and accurate (unfortunately). I think it's a matter of preference as well. They're all  straight from the Devil so as far as I'm concerned none of them are worthy. So why do I pay so much attention to them?   hmmmmmmmm??????????

Actually it doesn't matter which one you use, just use the same one all the time except when you go to the doctor.  Mine is a DETECTO dial scale which is pretty accurate and durable.  However, these are not cheap, expect to pay up to $100.00 for one but can be had cheaper at ebay.   I used one for years until my wife broke it to weight luggage and dropped on the floor.  I just got a new one and I love it.
