Recommendations for am ELECTRONIC SCALE?

[lifeisjustbeginning2011 11]

Does anyone have a favorite brand of scale? It sounds so silly - but I've returned two so far. The weight changed multiple times in ten minutes on both scales. I'm guessing I need to shell out some more money (rather than Walmart). I'm in Phoenix, so there are plenty of stores, I just don't know where to start. I figured you guys might know.

I like my weight watchers digital scale. I haven't had any problems with inconsistency on it and I think I got it from target. It was a little pricey (around 50 I believe), but it's worth it to have a good quality scale. Whatever the case, I definitely recommend digital Hope that helps some

Thanks for the feedback. I have a Target store closeby so I'll have to check that out. I looked on Target.com and there are several Weight Watchers scales...here is the link....which model do you have? Thanks!!

Make sure you keep the scale in one place and try to get weighed the same time each day (only get weighed once a day (or once a week if you can). Here are some researched choices:

(this site has a lot of ratings by people who used the scale)

Dang those have gone down in the past year. I have the body analysis one that's clear. You put in your height and you can program it to tell you your bmi and body fat

Percentage and some other fun stuff. I'm not sure how accurate but still cool lol. And like NJGirl said keep it in one place preferably on a hard surface. And try to weigh yourself at the same time. I'm the type who's too impatient to wait a whole week so I weigh myself as soon as I get up in the morning. Good luck!

I have the Omron, $67.

Omron Full Body Sensor Body Fat and Body Composition Monitor

It keeps a 90 day history for up to four people and does your: weight, BMI, body fat percentage, skeletal muscle percentage, metabolic requirement (number of calories required to maintain your weight), age based on your stats, and your visceral fat (the fat around your organs).

It's perfectly accurate when weight with and without weights (how I test scales) and weighs to the tenth of a pound. I strongly recommend it so you can make sure you're losing fat and gaining muscle and losing visceral fat. Plus it's a damn huge shock to the system to see your body's age based on your combined stats.

I love my Withings Wi-Fi scale. It logs my weight directly to my calorie tracking program wirelessly!

We're working on integrating the Withings - Wifi Bodyscale with our web site. I've personally tested it and really love it.

I just look at the body scale. Now that would interest me. Otherwise I refuse to bother, to many different readings from the Overseas junks! So, I stick with the Dr.'s Scale.

I will keep my eye on this though, and see if it's worth it.

Thanks for the feedback. I think I'm going to go with the Withings Wifi Body scale. Its $159 on Amazon with free shipping or they also sell it at my local Apple store for the same price (but you have to pay tax). I'm going to buy it from the Apple store since I can get it here in town. I seriously cannot believe I'm spending this kind of money on a scale! The idea of having my current weight/bmi/etc at my fingertips is really tempting. On the other hand.....do I really want it accessible all the time? Hmmmmm....choices choices!!

Find out how high up they go in weight before you invest. You don't want it to break at say 300lbs. That's why I didn't invest. My surgeon explained that they are all basically junk, everyone's scale is different. So there's is regulated often, and for me now that looks like the best way to go. Plus I don't drive myself CRAZY !

FABULOUS! I love love love my Withings Wifi scale. It's so easy and on days where I'm feeling like I'm worried about what the scale will say, I just don't look at it.
