Weight / Scales / HELP!

:help::help::help::help::help:<TABLE id=HB_Mail_Container height="100%" cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width="100%" border=0 UNSELECTABLE="on"><TBODY><TR height="100%" UNSELECTABLE="on" width="100%"><TD id=HB_Focus_Element vAlign=top width="100%" background="" height=250 UNSELECTABLE="off">Prior to my surgery, I had a cheap scale. BUT, I knew it was only 10 pounds off, and always 10 pounds off. When it said 225, my doctor's scale said 235. When I got home from surgery, I went to Wally World (Walmart) and bought a digital scale ($25.00).

I am very disapointed.

Everytime I step on the darn thing, it reads a different number. At 3 1/2 weeks post op, I'd really like to know exactly what my weight loss is. I don't care about the number due to obsessive reasons (those days are over), but I want to know especially because I am trying to gage if I need a fill or not.

Does anybody have any ideas on what scale to buy? Which ones are the most accurate?

Thanks!

That is a great question. My digital does the same thing, but i think my weight is actully going up and down a lot. I bought a really good scale.I think the changes are Water. Donna

The WW or Weight Watchers scale is Aweome! That is the only one I have found that is right on teh money. Down to the ounces. Best one I have owned. I believe Target carries them. I thought Walmart did at one time. Hope that helps!

I have a Tanita InnerScan and it is on the money every time! Tanita is also the brand that is used at my surgeon's office and the fill center.

I have been using a Healtometer digital scale for about 6-7 years. It is very consistent in the readings (i.e., if I step off, let it reset and step back on, I get the same # each time.)

Here is the model I have:

Health o meter - Dial scales, Digital scales, Monitoring Scales, Professional Scales, Thermometers, Blood Pressure Monitors, How Scales Work, Health Products, Health Links, Health o meter Kids!

I took a quick look at the web sites for Wal-Mart and Target and they both had a selection of scales from this manufacturer at reasonable prices.

I have a WW scale too and I love it. It is digital and records tenths of a pound. Yes, it varies, but as I stand on it, it settles and is usually within a pound of that last time. I weigh at the same time each day, naked, and I log my weight on FitDay, each day. It may not SEEM like they are moving much, but I look back at me a month ago and I was ten pounds heavier. Now that is SOMETHING! I review my graph chart through the week....set it next to my caloric intake log and I can really see what's going on....none of this "Gee, I just don't seem to be losing weight and I just don't know WHY!" Fooey. I can tell immediately where I have screwed up. It's there in back and white.

I wasted money on buying a Homedics 520 health station (what ever). The darn thing cost almost 50 bucks and is not realiable. If I step on and off of it 3x I will get a different answer each time. It really makes me mad because I wanted a digital scale so that I could see even the ounces lost but it doesnt work. Im embaressed to do so but I think Im going to take it back. I know the store is going to think Im crazy but it was a waste of money. :car:
