Are bathroom scales really accurate about a person s weight and if not then what can you use to measure your progress?

Bathroom scales are very accurate. The same scale will show the correct reading day after day, no matter what. There is no better way to measure progress than using a bathroom scale. If the scale reads "120" the first week and "120" the second week the weight standing on it is exactly the same both weeks. It will be correct every time it is used. Doctors scales, on the other hand are very bad because they get used so much (10 or twenty times Every day), so the doctors scale will not give the same number as your bathroom scale. Trust your scale what is says is what it is.
