Where Can I Get Weighed?

So, my MD office has a scale that goes up to 350lbs. Unfortunately, I'm a little heavier than that.

My NUT had a scale, but it only went up to 300lbs.! And this NUT was in a diabetes center and had some bariatric sized furniture, but their freakin' scale only goes up to 300lbs?! Am I cray or should scales go up higher than this?? Especially at a doctors office - I asked my MD where I could get weighed, and he had no idea where to send me. Why should this be so hard? Being overweight is embarrassing enough, but now I gotta ask around to see how high someone's scale goes before I step on it? Absolutely and unnecessarily ridiculous, if you ask me.

Any suggestions where I might go to get weighed?

I'm complete mortified to have this problem. :(

    How about going to a store that sells higher limit scales... and trying it out in the store. No need to buy. Test it!

    I used to work at a doctors office and we also had this problem so we put 2 scales next to each other and had the patient put one foot on each. I'm sure this is not super accurate, but it should give

I totally understand your trouble, I ordered my scale from online I believe it was Seventh Avenue, but u can also try Bryantlane Homes. It was about $70 and it goes to 550 lbs.

When my dad had this problem, he went to a local bakery. They have large scales there to weigh flour. People have also used the scales at a grain and feed (co-op) place (where they sell food for animals like horses and cows).

Generally these type of places are fine with letting someone use their scales.
