How to Find an Accurate Weight Scale

When you've decided to take control of your health and begin properly monitoring your weight, nothing is more upsetting than realizing your scale has been lying to you. Scales that are used often, such as the weight scales at your gym or health club generally do not give the most accurate readings because dozens of people use them day in and day out without them being properly recalibrated each day. The best way to get an accurate measurement of your weight is to weigh yourself every day at the same time and on the same scale.
