labwalker 1,177 Posted May 31, 2013 We found digital scales at our costco, and bought a pair of them. They seem to be within a pound of each other when comparing them to each other. I like the digital electronic scales over the older mechanical designs. I do notice that how you stand on a scale can affect the weight reading by up to a pound.

taylor1989 131 Posted May 31, 2013 I'm looking for a new scale I buy them and then they don't work so any ideas please . Bed bath and beyond have a ton. I'm going to check them out this week. I want one that will tell me exact weight. The one I have now is a Walmart one that rounds to the nearest .5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim1967 3,569 Posted May 31, 2013 I bought a Tanita 10 years ago and it is still going strong. I needed a good scale because of my weight at the time. I also liked the fact it had 5 different memory slots so multiple people could use it and it will remember your last weigh in. quite expensive but it was worth it. http://www.amazon.com/Tanita-HD351-Digital-Memory-Function/dp/B0000U6F2M/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1370022277&sr=8-11&keywords=scales+tanita 2 newlife828 and labwalker reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toddy 758 Posted May 31, 2013 I've had a Thinner brand scale for years!! It is always exactly four pounds different from my doctor's scale, but I'm weighing first thing in the morning and in the buff at home and with clothes on and later in the day at the doctor's office. 3 newlife828, catfish87 and CHEZNOEL reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daddyof4 95 Posted June 1, 2013 I can't resist - the best scale is the one that shows your weight dropping! 5 newlife828, dazzlingone, catfish87 and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CHEZNOEL 4,061 Posted June 1, 2013 Do not be surprised if any scale you purchase does not exactly match the doctor's scales. Good news for me, his is always 3 pounds lighter. 1 labwalker reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bandakat412 26 Posted June 8, 2013 I have a scale that tells me how much I gained or lost, but not the number. Godsend. 1 ItsANewDay reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kazjim98 618 Posted June 8, 2013 I love my scale...it keeps going down! Seriously though, I have a Taylor digital scale, it does all kinds of neat things, I bought it from Walmart many years ago and it's still going strong.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aviva1979 375 Posted June 10, 2013 There is a 20lbs difference from my home digital scale and my surgeon's office (his is lower) - with my PCP and nutritionist's offices also being different but closer to my scale. I've been thinking it might be time to buy a new scale for home - glad I found this thread! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jodi_620 37 Posted June 12, 2013 Mine is a Weight Watchers brand digital scale. I bought it when I had my surgery five years ago and as an obsessive weight tracker, it has held up to religious daily weigh-ins and is very accurate. I just recently had to replace the battery. I believe I bought mine at K-Mart. 1 aviva1979 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
