Why they call them that I do not know. Why not weighing machine and why is scale in the plural. Why bathroom. I don?t keep mine in the bathroom for fear they will get wet and rusty.
Anyway if you are dieting or losing weight you need to weigh yourself regularly, so you need bathroom scales.
Mine broke recently. Not because I was too heavy but they simply jammed and got stuck on 60kgs and would not budge.
Now there is no way in the world I could ever be 60kgs and I could not fool anyone so I had to go shopping for a new set of scales.
My God how the world has changed. They?ve got electronic scales, digital scales, solar scales, dial scales and even one that electronically measures your body beamy increased unchanging outside distance from heap up.

I wanted one of the humble old fashioned dial scales calibrated in pounds, stones and kilos. It proved a difficult mission.
I walked for miles and visited four big stores before I found one. It sat there small, compact and non-electronic, the last in the store, as if waiting for me. I grabbed it quickly because it was the last one there - and it only cost $11.
I was interested in the instructions that came with it. Apparently moving scales around too much can affect their accuracy. They have to be on firm and even surfaces.
OK.I put mine in the same place as always and stepped on them. What this? It said I had gained 2 kilos (5lbs) more than on my old machine.
So I looked at the instructions again. ?Don?t try to compare your weight on a number of scales,? it said. ?You may find you get different weights. The difference could be due to some scales being slightly inaccurate. If you use the same scales it should monitor your weight changes accurately?
Mmm..OK, but I?m not going to forget that 2 kilos (5lbs) you owe me.
