Scale Recommendation

[lkcraig316 4]

I need to get a bathroom scale for this adventure! I looked at Target.com and saw that there were LCD scales, old-fashioned scales with the needle, scales that measure hydration, body fat, etc. Does anybody have any recommendations for scales that have been accurate and useful?

I got my scale from Wal-Mart. It measures BMI, Weight, Hydration, and keeps the last 5 weigh in on record. So when I weigh in it will show my current weight and the flash + or - X pounds. It was about 26 bucks.

I bit the bullet and bought a Detecto scale like at the doctor's office. It's also known as a balance beam scale. It cost me $150 online, but worth it to me. I've never found a bathroom floor scale that was really accurate.

I bought a scale at Walmart that records your weight, goal weight and BMI. It tells me everyday how much I have gained and or lost and how much more I have to lose to get to my goal weight. It records up to 4 users. I love it. It cost under $20.

I bought this one

And, I like it. It's WAY more accurate than the one I bought at Target last year. And, it came with a measuring tape.

I wouldn't bother with a fancy bodyfat/hydration scale, they are not very accurate. I've heard people say their bodyfat measurements can fluctuate by 10% day to day. Save the $ and get something simple. I have a plain ol' dial scale, it works fine. It would've been nicer to have a digital one, but I make do with the dial. Check your local Goodwill or Salvation Army store, they often have scales for sale for like $2.

I had a scale, but it drove me nuts. It was digital, but you had to try several times before you got your weight without it saying err.

Kohl's has several different brands on sale. I bought one today and LOVE it! It is a Taylor, digital (but you can stand on it and get your weight, instead of taking it to turn it on and then stepping on it), and it weights in 2 tenth increments. It was originally $60 and was on sale for $29. There were other's that I thought about but finally had to make a choice.

Hope this helps!

I think ThatDudesMom and I must have the same exact scale. It's pretty accurate too because it lines up well with my Wii and what I weigh at my Dr's office. My Dr's office has the same kind of scale that Sr. Sleever mentioned.

It doesn't have any of that fancy stuff like weighted fat % or that kinda stuff. Just weighs me, which is fine.

I got mine at Target. I don't remember what I paid but I know it wasn't more than $30 -- good luck!
