good scales?



Recommended Posts

I have a Tanita digital scale. It's the first accurate scale I've ever owned. It was a little pricey (about $60 I think) but it's worth it.

My last scale was $40, but it got stuck at 235, lol. I thought I was maintaining (not happy, but not gaining)... then I went to the doctor & weighed in at 315, hah! I threw the scale away that evening (after rechecking... yep, 235!!)

I've sworn off scales, just doing the measuring thing & weighing in when I'm at the doctor's.

Thanks for the chance to vent! Hehe. :)

I got the big one, the good old Dr's scale you would see in their offices, yes It cost $300 but it is reliable and will last a lifetime of up's and hopefully down's with me.

Ali, I have that scale too! I'll never go back to the cheapies. Of course, I didn't buy it--I sort of inherited it from a former roommate--but if I had to I probably would. It's great for all members of the family; my kids love it!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
