Scale Recommendation



Recommended Posts

I need to get a bathroom scale for this adventure! I looked at Target.com and saw that there were LCD scales, old-fashioned scales with the needle, scales that measure hydration, body fat, etc. Does anybody have any recommendations for scales that have been accurate and useful?

I got my scale from Wal-Mart. It measures BMI, Weight, Hydration, and keeps the last 5 weigh in on record. So when I weigh in it will show my current weight and the flash + or - X pounds. It was about 26 bucks.

I bit the bullet and bought a Detecto scale like at the doctor's office. It's also known as a balance beam scale. It cost me $150 online, but worth it to me. I've never found a bathroom floor scale that was really accurate.

I bought a scale at Walmart that records your weight, goal weight and BMI. It tells me everyday how much I have gained and or lost and how much more I have to lose to get to my goal weight. It records up to 4 users. I love it. It cost under $20.

I wouldn't bother with a fancy bodyfat/hydration scale, they are not very accurate. I've heard people say their bodyfat measurements can fluctuate by 10% day to day. Save the $ and get something simple. I have a plain ol' dial scale, it works fine. It would've been nicer to have a digital one, but I make do with the dial. Check your local Goodwill or Salvation Army store, they often have scales for sale for like $2.

I had a scale, but it drove me nuts. It was digital, but you had to try several times before you got your weight without it saying err.

Kohl's has several different brands on sale. I bought one today and LOVE it! It is a Taylor, digital (but you can stand on it and get your weight, instead of taking it to turn it on and then stepping on it), and it weights in 2 tenth increments. It was originally $60 and was on sale for $29. There were other's that I thought about but finally had to make a choice.

Hope this helps!

I think ThatDudesMom and I must have the same exact scale. It's pretty accurate too because it lines up well with my Wii and what I weigh at my Dr's office. My Dr's office has the same kind of scale that Sr. Sleever mentioned.

It doesn't have any of that fancy stuff like weighted fat % or that kinda stuff. Just weighs me, which is fine.

I got mine at Target. I don't remember what I paid but I know it wasn't more than $30 -- good luck!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
