Don't buy one - just use the doctor's! LOL - I have a Weight Watchers one and it seems pretty accurate!

I started using my wii because my ww scale is funny actng. I hate having to step on 3 and 4 times and each time getting a different number. I prefer to weigh early in the morning with little close, so I pull my wii fit out

LOL!! TRUE!! I know I won't be going to the doctor every 2 weeks and my plan is to way myself every 2 weeks. I am newly sleeved so I haven't weighed myself yet. But when I do....I don't want ANYYYYYY problems!!! LOL!!!

Really?!?!?!??! I have a Wii but not a Wii fit...maybe I need to look into that or the Kinect. I have an XBox as well. GOOD SUGGESTION!!!!

I am a scale addict :mellow: I get on every morning. It the only way I can keep myself in check but when it doesn't move I get antsy. I have a Homemedics digital one. Its not pricy (around $25) and easy to read. My scale is actually very close to what my doctor has, so there aren't any scale discrepancy surprises.

Maybe I should step on that Wii fit board and see what happens!

I have an Xbox with a Kinect but my living room layout isn't enough space for the Kinect to "Find" big ol'me hahaha. Is that Wii good? My boyfriend has one... maybe I can borrow it

I have a glass digital one that is branded from the biggest losers. It is actually within a half pound of the one from the doctors office. I think target has them.

LOL!! I think once I start really losing I will be an addict too. But I don't feel all that lighter since my surgery. I guess I have to give it time. **sigh**

My scale measures body fat, lean muscle, Water, etc in addition to weight. It's a Tanita brand, got it from Amazon. It's the same brand my bariatric center uses, just not as big. I weigh second thing every morning (pee first) and record my weight. I record the fat, muscle and physical tape measurements just once a month.

i have a weight watchers scale from Costco. Works perfect ~$20.

Its glass and stainless steel.... very pretty!

Do not spend a lot of moeny on a scale. Once you weight on a scale then any weight loss should be fairly accurate. Also just to be make you aware your scale can become your enemy after weight loss surgery. If you weight daily and are expecting a weight loss everytime that you get on the scale it is very easy to get discouraged. I have gone to weight bi-weekly. This way if I do not lost much in a few days or 1 week I do not get down on myself and start to eat things to make me feel better......like i used to do in the past.
