Liberated Sleeve 148 Posted April 11, 2012 Don't buy one - just use the doctor's! LOL - I have a Weight Watchers one and it seems pretty accurate! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aaeactive_gm 20 Posted April 11, 2012 I started using my wii because my ww scale is funny actng. I hate having to step on 3 and 4 times and each time getting a different number. I prefer to weigh early in the morning with little close, so I pull my wii fit out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Iliana82 84 Posted April 11, 2012 I am a scale addict I get on every morning. It the only way I can keep myself in check but when it doesn't move I get antsy. I have a Homemedics digital one. Its not pricy (around $25) and easy to read. My scale is actually very close to what my doctor has, so there aren't any scale discrepancy surprises. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Liberated Sleeve 148 Posted April 11, 2012 Maybe I should step on that Wii fit board and see what happens! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Iliana82 84 Posted April 11, 2012 I have an Xbox with a Kinect but my living room layout isn't enough space for the Kinect to "Find" big ol'me hahaha. Is that Wii good? My boyfriend has one... maybe I can borrow it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bratvp63 118 Posted April 11, 2012 I have a glass digital one that is branded from the biggest losers. It is actually within a half pound of the one from the doctors office. I think target has them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess I have to give it time. **sigh** Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kyllfalcon 768 Posted April 11, 2012 My scale measures body fat, lean muscle, Water, etc in addition to weight. It's a Tanita brand, got it from Amazon. It's the same brand my bariatric center uses, just not as big. I weigh second thing every morning (pee first) and record my weight. I record the fat, muscle and physical tape measurements just once a month. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaliKat 153 Posted April 11, 2012 i have a weight watchers scale from costco. Works perfect ~$20. Its glass and stainless steel.... very pretty! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IowaAndy 95 Posted April 11, 2012 Do not spend a lot of moeny on a scale. Once you weight on a scale then any weight loss should be fairly accurate. Also just to be make you aware your scale can become your enemy after weight loss surgery. If you weight daily and are expecting a weight loss everytime that you get on the scale it is very easy to get discouraged. I have gone to weight bi-weekly. This way if I do not lost much in a few days or 1 week I do not get down on myself and start to eat things to make me feel better......like i used to do in the past.
