That is such a subjective question--there are lots of different scales. It just depends on what you think is important. Do you want one that tells you the BMI too, measures in pounds and ounces, or is Bluetooth capable to work with a FitBit or weight tracking program?

I always say don't buy a scale. Don't weigh yourself, that's what the scale at the doctor's office is for. Just my opinion, of course. :)

I am scale freak. I need to weight myself every day and sometimes twice a day in the morning and at night. and I LOVE my scale which put info online so I can see the graph and etc...

again just base on my previous diet experience it help me to control myself. as soon as I stop stepping on the scale I start gaining :)

I use withing scale and I think due to this scale I don't need to be on 6 months diet. I just brought the chart from the site for 2 years ( this is how long I am using them)

The wi scale sounds cool! I love gadgets. Does it track small increases or decreases correctly? I researched scales several years back and in the fine print somewhere, almost all of them said that it remembers and displays the previous weight unless it's different by more than 2 pounds! I want ounces measured! I used to have a 5 pound hand weight that I would put on the scale with me, then take it off just to be sure it was giving the correct number.

My husband hid my by the directions of nutritionist. She wants me to break my habit of everyday/twice a day or more weighing habit. But I had/have the:

EatSmart Precision Digital Bathroom scale w/ Extra Large Backlit 3.5" Display and "Step-On" Technology 28.95 at Amazon. I love it! Pretty accurate. Let me tell you I have put it to the test. Hop on Hop off, that was my routine. Did not fail me.

It keeps all weights every time you step on them it would keep the numbers. ( even if you prefer not to save it :)) I tested it keep all my 5 times I step on them during one minute

but to see it on the graph you need to switch to daily view and it will show all of them otherwise it will show the latest one only.

      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.
