Good news, Rick!
When I was at the in-laws for 10 days a couple of weeks ago, I discovered their scale was off at least 4 kg (~9lbs) when the person was over 100kg. Not only that, it varied by like 2 kg and had tiny numbers. To put it mildly, the scale in the guest bathroom flat out sucked. So I bought a new one with the intention of leaving it there -- from Tefal, digital, BIG digits, resolution of 100 grams (< 1/4 pound), stable reading and memory (for example, flashes a green light and says you've lost 0.4kg since last weigh in).

Here's the point though, it works up to 160kg which is 352lbs. I'm guessing this is a standard high point of today's home scales. If you keep losing weight at your fast clip, soon you'll be "in range" to use a modern home scale. That's a nice goal to work towards, no?
