LadiSani 59 Posted September 8, 2015 So, I don't own a scale. Haven't in a long time. I got tired of my scale being about 4 pounds off of every other scale I would weigh on. It occurred to me that I might want to get one now so I can follow my progress at home and not just at the doctor visits. Can anyone recommend a quality scale?

rkingston 6 Posted September 8, 2015 Get a Withings. It will download your weight to an app. I use Fitbit app. So you can fiollow your progress automatically. It costs $145 so is not cheap. I don't think it matters too much the difference between scales. More important is what happened over the past month or so on the scale you are using. Using the same scale will reveal the trend. It was definitely worth it for me. I also use the app RevUp and so a fitness person also follows this. The withings also determines your fat percentage so a trend will be much slower than just weight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The withings also determines your fat percentage so a trend will be much slower than just weight. I was also going to recommend the Withings scale. It takes your weight, body fat percentage, air quality, etc.. Plus they have a pedometer called the "Pulse" you clip to your body if you want to get one later. It's $100 but it tells you the number of steps, the elevation, walking and running patterns, your sleep patterns, and your heart rate. Both the scale and the pulse upload the data to a website that keeps track of your progress and integrates with other popular websites like Runtastic. Check them out for yourself....

suitechicguy 105 Posted September 9, 2015 I have the Aria scale by Fitbit. The Withings looks really good to though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amberina 105 Posted September 9, 2015 I researched doctor's scales. The one I decided on was a Seca- it is a super high quality, German made scale know for its accuracy. They run about $400-$700 depending on the model. I looked on craigslist and found someone selling the $700 one in brand new condition for $70. I am SOOOO happy with it. It always reads the exact same as my doctors office scale. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
