What type of scale do you all recommend?

[aubrie 6]

Well, it's here. I will be banded Monday. I am going to buy a scale this weekend and have no idea what would be best. I gave up on ever being thin again years ago, so I don't have a scale. where did you all buy yours?

I got mine from Wal-Mart. It's HealthoMeter. It's digital and you can program your height, age, gender, and weight and each week when you weigh, it tracks your progress. It can also show you your BMI and shows if you are hydrated enough. I think it cost about $40.

My only real preference is for a digital scale, I like to be able to see small variances. I'm too tall to read a dial - its too far away, lol. Cant tell until I've lost like 5kg, so digital for me.

Personally, I dont hold much truck with all the body fat measurements etc. Mine tells me I have 30% body fat, I find that a little hard to believe since when I was 15kg heavier 10 years ago I got measured at the gym at 32%. Then I'll get on one morning and it'll say 25%, I think home units are just too inaccurate to be of much use. Anyway, to me, if I can pinch rolls, I have too much fat, end of story.

we have the kind they used to have at dr's offices...with the sliding weights. think it came from jc penney a long time ago...not sure, as i married into it.

I believe I have the same one from Walmart. I know it wasn't over $50. They had some that were and I think they carry the Weight Watchers official scale. I like my scale because it's digital. I want every 10th of a pound to show - it keeps me motivated. I don't rely on the Water and the fat numbers. They seemed a little too iffy.

Good luck to you!

I bought a Taylor digital scale because it's so accurate and I love seeing my weight in 10ths of a pound.

Same as the others, think I bought it at Walmart for around $35-$40. (I was only .8 # off from the doctor's scale this morning!)

As I Said Earlier On The Chat Line, I Think My scale Is Broken...that Little Red Line, Is Bent Or Something, I Think, No Matter What, It Just Wont Go Under 200 Pounds. I Balance On The Toilet Paper Roller, And E--a--s--e-- Down Onto The Scale Really Softly...still Over 200...i Stand On It, And Sort Of Lean Forward Just---a---bit--- But No Good...i Try One Foot At A Time...then Very S-l-o-w-l-y...put My Other Foot On It....hum...still Shows Over 200 Lbs....so You Think Mal Wort Is My Best Bet?????

Oh really i'm so getting one.... My scale at home seems so boring compared to this one... I have a digital only weight is show and previous weight of the last person that used it.

I have a Weight Watchers scale. It's called WW60X. It was kind of pricey, but it's accurate and I like it. This is either my 2nd of 3rd WW Scale. I bought this one before surgery specifically b/c of the weight limits. I got it off Amazon, but I got the other WW scales from Walmart or Target.

I pretty much stopped dealing with scales. I weigh myself the day I start my period and that is it. I don't like the little/and not so little fluctuations. I was weighed the day of my surgery, the day of my first fill, and now the day of my second fill. Thats enough for me. I can tell by how my clothes fit.

Yep, that's it. I love my scales. I really like that it can program up to 4 different people on it and I love seeing and recording my progress every week. The BMI is pretty close to what the doctors scales say, I'm not that sure about the hydration part of it, I don't even pay attention to that part. There is only about a pound difference in my scales and the doctors scales.

I calculate BMI's of kids everyday(because i work in a pediatricians office and the doctors require us to do so as part of the vitals...) so i just do it one my own

Tape measures speak volumes even when the scales are not in your favor!!!!!!!!!!
