I did a search and couldn't find anything on this topic so here goes: what scale do you use to weigh? Do you like it?

We actually have a doctor's office scale but have no space for it. I would LOVE to get a small scale that I can slide under the counter but haven't found one that is reliable (I purchased two and returned two). It would also need to be reliable at higher weights obviously.

Thanks!

I have been using a scale I got a Wal-mart from the tv show the Biggest Loser. I like it, it is readable and seems to match my doctor's scale perfectly.

I also have the weight watchers scale...it's made my conair (I think).

I got it for $30 at costco (2 years ago)

it's digital and stores a history for 4 people.

It's accurate to 375lbs

Oh, and it's made of glass (apparently this makes a difference??)

I have a tanita HD 351 scale I love. I (and many on the WW boards!) have had trouble with the WW scales and the conair, but they can't all be lemons. Tanita is the brand WW centers use and the brand my surgeon uses, so it's good enough for me. Amazon carries a wide range of tanita scales (with different weight limits)

I just bought a new scale at Target, and I got the Weight Watchers scale too. I hope I didn't get a lemon, but so far I love it. It gives you several different measurements (bone mass, Water weight, bmi, etc). I think I paid around $50 for it, and considering all the features, I thought it was a pretty good price.

I got the scale at Wal-Mart that is digital goes up to 375 lbs. and records weight and BMI and hydration. It was about $39. You can program it up to 4 people and it saves your weight if you want and keeps track of weight loss and gain. I love it.

I can step on mine a dozen times and it reads the same every time. Now, if I move it around it might change...but that's to do with the floor not the scale.< /p>

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
