Good scale to weigh me and one for my food.......



Recommended Posts

I need to get a good digital scale for myself and my food! I am looking for one that is accurate to my doctors office so if you have one that is accurate please let me know what type and where you bought it. The food one I would like to be digital as well.

Thank you!

I can't recommend a good body scale (I still need one), but I've been using this food scale for years:

http://www.amazon.com/OXO-Grips-Stainless-Pull-Out-Display/dp/B000WJMTNA

It's a bit on the pricey side, but it's always accurate (when using it to weigh packages, I often double check the weight with a luggage scale) and has taken a lot of abuse. You're probably wondering how someone abuses their food scale, but it's been through three moves, and let's just say I have a weird problem with knocking things around. :)

My "people scale" gives a different number every time I step on it. I literally take 5 weights and average them. Stupid scale!

My people scale can also weigh different, so if I step on it a second time and it's different, then I do a third time, 2 out of three rules! :) My food scale I got at a kitchen outlet store, a cute little inexpensive one. Between it and my 1/4 and 1/2 measuring cup, I'm good to go. The people scale I got at Bed, Bath & Beyond, it less than $30 and with the 20% off, was a really good price.

Thanks it does look nice on the counter!

And I like the "tare" feature so you can put a bowl on it and still just get the measurement of the food. 50 bucks just like yours! I had to think twice about dropping that kind of money but its worth knowing exact amounts (I wouldn't want to jip myself) :P

I just read about yours too! Sound good I like the stainless steel!

I bought this one:

http://www.amazon.com/Weighmax-Electronic-Kitchen-Scale-2810-2KG/dp/B000P1PJL4/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1371577524&sr=8-3&keywords=food+scale

It does the trick. Plus, it comes with the bowl, which is detachable, so its very easy to clean. I got it maybe a year ago, thinking i would need to replace it with a high tech one after surgery but it works just fine!

Don't show that to my husband!! I came home yesterday with my 50 dollar purchase from kohls and he asked "why didn't you just order one with that 100 dollar gift card to Amazon you got for your birthday last week????" Oops :D

Target has a Weight Watchers digital scale that I love. It always matches with my doctors office. http://m.target.com/p/weight-watchers-glass-scale-clear/-/A-13202699

I like mine I bought in December from target for $40 it is OXO brand. I like that the face can be moved so it is still easy to read with something bulky on the scale.I have also used a Soehnle Page scale which was good but mine got wet and battery corroded so I went to Target and bought my OXO.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
