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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
