We got the WW digital scale a couple months ago. It is wickedly accurate, manages different profiles and also indicates stats like body fat %, bone density and a few other things. My wife and I both use it and have different profiles set up on it. She weighs daily and I weigh about 2 x a week.

I bought this one and it works amazingly well. I can step on it numerous times and get the same number. It was cheap and works great.

I am a firm believer in not weighing in very often. I measure instead...also I go by how my clothes fit. Those numbers on the s ale can drive you crazy! When you are working out, and eating more Protein you can easily not drop any weight, but be losing inches because of exchanging fat for muscle. While a pound of muscle and a pound of fat weigh just that...a pound, the pound of muscle takes up less space, and therefore your number on the scale may be the same, but the size you are can change. I'm not sure if I am making any sense....but that is what I go by. Good luck to you! :)

There are some scales on Amazon around $55 that measure fat, Water, muscle and bone. Hopefully that means that even during stalls, you would still see body composition changes.

I see your point but I do not have a scale so I do need one. I would rather it be one that's got some good reviews behind it. Ty!

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
