Scales! Not sure that mine is good...Suggestions?



Recommended Posts

Didn't do any research when I bought the scale I have now that I bought a couple of years ago ...and the readings are off when I go to the doctors. Looking to get a more accurate one before I head into surgery Aug 26th. Any suggestions on what to get?

Look on the big mans clothing and they sale scales. I bought one four months ago and went for post op check up and it was dead on the money.

Try a Weight Watchers scale about 30 dollars. Target sells them. You could try a Tanita scale it measures body fat as well. The weight Watcher scale is only a pound off from my doctors office scale.

I got the "Biggest Loser" digital scale from Target- I think it was $40. I really like it. It's 1-2 pounds lighter than my doctor's scale.

Oh stop! :P

Honestly, when I bought it years ago I had considered the 500lb max model but saw myself exceeding that in the future.

My doctor's office uses one - if I didn't have the one above I'd get a Tanita.
