What scale do you use???



Recommended Posts

I need a new scale! I can step on mine 3 times in a row and get 3 very different numbers. I would like to find something more accurate. Does anyone have a scale that you would recommend? Thanks!

Well, I'm not a fan of the scale, but I would really recommend using 1 only, either the one at the doctor or the 1 at the gym every time. Sorry I'm not any help. I don't own a scale

I have a weight watcher's digital scale that is usually pretty accurate. I just make sure it's in the same place on the floor all the time. It is usually a pound higher than the doctors office too.

I have a scale that will zero itself out before you step on it. You have to tap it in the center to turn it on and let it zero out, then you step on it and will accurately weigh you. I just need to make sure I put it on the bathroom floor where there is no carpeting because that will screw with it.

tanita brand, this is what WW uses at their meetings. I had best luck finding online. I own 2 for about 8 years now.

I also have a digital Tanita scale that I've had for about 5-6 years. It operates just like Nancy describes. It is very accurate. I have figured out that it is always 2 lbs lighter than my dr's scale...once you figure out the difference you can always do the math to know your true weight. I think I bought it at Bed Bath and Beyond.

Same with my Tanita's - consistently 1 lb heavier than at weight watchers.

I have this one too but I always seem to be a couple of lbs. lighter on it than the docs. As others posted above, I tend to monitor the fluctuations more than the actual weight, figuring it will vary by a couple of lbs. from scale to scale.

This is the one I bought. It was cheap and got great reviews. It gives me consistent readings and it looks fashionable to boot.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
