I got a weight watchers digital from target. It was around 39. It is very accurate never more than .5 lb difference between it and the expensive ones at my dr or gym.

Mine is a biggest looser scale from target, same price. I love it, except when I had to get new battery so quickly. Lol

Mine does the same thing (plus or minus 4 pounds) I move it around on the floor like a crazy person until I get a reading that is the same or lower than the day before... :blink: so I just ordered an Omron 400 ($44 from Amazon). But now what if it gets here and tells me I weigh more than the one I already have?? I will be totally ticked off then.

Mine does that when there's something under it (like a dust bunny or something) or the battery is getting low.

Weight watchers seem to produce a better scale. I had mines for almost 10 years and still give accurate numbers. Wal-mart sells them for $29.99 - $44.99.

I had the same issue with my digital scale so I just bought a new one off Amazon for $56. It's called "eat smart" I believe, and it also measures your body fat, Water, muscle, and bone density. Ironically it does the same thing as my other one and I get a different answer every time.

I only weigh myself at the gym now. They have a fancy high end one that measures just about everything.

I had a weight watchers one and in a fit of rage I threw it out the window, took less than 2 minutes for my dog to mark his territory hahahahaha.

I thought it was hilarious. Man who bought scale, not so much :-D

the scale number actually depend on the floor. we always assume that floor is flat but it is not true. try to move the scale and weight again. I found 3 places in my bathroom where scale shows different numbers. I just choose one which sound more true and always put it there to get weight.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
