I just ordered this scale: http://www.amazon.com/HealthOMeter-349KLX-Digital-Medical-Scale/dp/B000FCHAH4/ref=aag_m_pw_dp?ie=UTF8&m=A17XB8NDZRYNMM Now, I am trying to decide where to keep it. The options are bedroom or bathroom. Bedroom has carpet. Bathroom has tile, with roughly 12" tiles and grout. Which place would give the most accurate reading? Those are the two I am comfortable with, since I get nekkid when I weight myself. Thoughts?

Tile for sure! I don't think carpet is steady and sturdy enough to give an accurate reading in my opinion.

bathroom the tile is best ,  if you kep getting diffrent readings you can put a piece of plywood  under the scale

Plywood is a good idea! And I have tons of it laying around. Thanks!

Tile. Definitely. Scales on carpeting do not give an accurate reading.

that's a fancy scale!  i'm looking at simpler one http://www.amazon.ca/Ozeri-Precision-Bathroom-Widescreen-Technology/dp/B0065MDDHY/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=36PUPHPQOX3X5&coliid=I3C2Z2TYHJP2B4

only half as precise, but 1/3 the price too!

When I first started my weight loss process, I thoUght the same thing. The cheaper ones were just a giant pain in the butt and I really didn't feel like I had "saved" anything.

Tile for sure. Carpet will never give you an accurate weight.
