The Hairy Dieters book

Growing out my very short pixie crop!

Reliable, consistent bathroom scales..?
Not sure if the topic has come up before. I am looking to establish a weight loss regime but find my current bathroom scales are unreliable in that they vary in 'result' even on weighings taken one immediately after another. Can anyone recommend a specific make/model which does not do this?
