Scales can be frustrating. My old digital (LED display) Health-O-Meter (circa 1991) began behaving just like yours did. I was bent on replacing it with a good analog scale, and tried several (they were all Health-O-Meter. . . they must have a monopoly around here). I wasn't satisfied with any of them. I was almost ready to just mail order a good balance type scale for beau coup bucks when I came across the Health-O-Meter "EverWeigh" digital (LCD display); model HDL903KDI, with 10 year lithium battery. This one I have found to be very in agreement with the balance scale at my doctor's office. I weigh myself before my appt. get in the car, and 30 mins later, usually compare dead on. I think the tolerances on these consumer grade scales varies greatly, and it's the luck of the draw in finding a really accurate one. I picked this one up at K-Mart for around 30 bucks. It's been holding its own for over four years. The only drawback is that when the internal battery goes you either have to toss the whole scale, or have it shipped back to Health-O-Meter for service.
