Good scale to weigh me and one for my food.......



Recommended Posts

I need to get a good digital scale for myself and my food! I am looking for one that is accurate to my doctors office so if you have one that is accurate please let me know what type and where you bought it. The food one I would like to be digital as well.

Thank you!

I can't recommend a good body scale (I still need one), but I've been using this food scale for years:

http://www.amazon.com/OXO-Grips-Stainless-Pull-Out-Display/dp/B000WJMTNA

It's a bit on the pricey side, but it's always accurate (when using it to weigh packages, I often double check the weight with a luggage scale) and has taken a lot of abuse. You're probably wondering how someone abuses their food scale, but it's been through three moves, and let's just say I have a weird problem with knocking things around. :)

My "people scale" gives a different number every time I step on it. I literally take 5 weights and average them. Stupid scale!

My people scale can also weigh different, so if I step on it a second time and it's different, then I do a third time, 2 out of three rules! :) My food scale I got at a kitchen outlet store, a cute little inexpensive one. Between it and my 1/4 and 1/2 measuring cup, I'm good to go. The people scale I got at Bed, Bath & Beyond, it less than $30 and with the 20% off, was a really good price.

Thanks it does look nice on the counter!

And I like the "tare" feature so you can put a bowl on it and still just get the measurement of the food. 50 bucks just like yours! I had to think twice about dropping that kind of money but its worth knowing exact amounts (I wouldn't want to jip myself) :P

I just read about yours too! Sound good I like the stainless steel!

I bought this one:

http://www.amazon.com/Weighmax-Electronic-Kitchen-Scale-2810-2KG/dp/B000P1PJL4/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1371577524&sr=8-3&keywords=food+scale

It does the trick. Plus, it comes with the bowl, which is detachable, so its very easy to clean. I got it maybe a year ago, thinking i would need to replace it with a high tech one after surgery but it works just fine!

Target has a Weight Watchers digital scale that I love. It always matches with my doctors office. http://m.target.com/p/weight-watchers-glass-scale-clear/-/A-13202699

I like mine I bought in December from target for $40 it is OXO brand. I like that the face can be moved so it is still easy to read with something bulky on the scale.I have also used a Soehnle Page scale which was good but mine got wet and battery corroded so I went to Target and bought my OXO.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
