I have an extremely similar scale to this from the same manufacturer(mine has green display, and the middle part extends to the bottom of the scale.Still has the same 3 buttons.This scale is both accurate and consistent.Yeah, you can fool it once in a while if you weigh yourself and then within 10 seconds weigh yourself with a 3.5 oz weight. I put a 20 pound weight on it and it read 20.2 lb.The .2 doesn't bother me - to be honest it is probably the cheap weight I have.If I weigh myself and then drink 5 oz of water and weigh myself again after a minute has passed, it fairly accurately reflects the difference.You have to remember it's rounding to .2 pound increments.So it's entirely possible that if you eat one pound of food, the weight may seem to go up as little as .8 lbs and as high as 1.2 (at it's least accurate, when it has to round way down on one end and way up on the other).Over the long haul, I believe it really is accurate to the .2 lbs.
The progress tracker is actually quite simple- it is the instructions that are bad. You just hit the "set" button, use the up and down arrows to select which person (1-4) you want to do, then hold in the set button until the "0.0" pounds displays.Weigh yourself.The first time you do it, it sets the weight. Do the same thing if you want the progress info - hit set, pick the person number with up and down arrows, and hold set until the scale shows 0.0 lbs, weigh yourself.It will tell you what you weighed last time, how much you lost, etc. while you stand on it.
This is a good scale.I've had bad ones that float 1 lb in either direction while claiming to be accurate to .2 lbs - this is not one of them. It feels sturdy, the foot pads are more comfortable than solid plastic, and the display really is cool looking.Also, if it's like the model I got, it takes regular old AAA batteries, which should be included in the box.

These scales are the third set I have bought to weigh myself. I am a big guy (360) & these are the first that will weigh me the same two times in a row. Yes, they do kind of have a small space to stand on but I believe it makes them more accurate. If you weigh too much in pounds you can always switch them to kilos & weigh half as much! The other scales I tried would not weigh the same twice in a row & they sounded like they were breaking to pieces when I stepped on them.
