So Murphy's law seems to follow me everywhere.. Today is my 1 month post op and I was hoping to be at or under 200 lbs (onederland!) last Friday I was 204.4 and I've stayed off the scales until today. Well, the damn thing is broke. It's a Taylor CalMax (biggest loser version) that I paid $60 and only a few months old. I've tried everything, resetting it, changed battery, etc and nothing. It won't read any weight, and flashes and ERROR1 message each time.

So I need to buy a scale today to know if I've reached my goal, and wanted to know which scales you guys would recommend? I researched the Taylor brand and there are a ton of bad reviews, people having the same problem I am so I won't be buying one of those.

Suggestions please?

I would try every one the store has. Whichever one weighs you in less. That's the one to buy!!!

I like the way you think!!!! Lol

I hadn't had a scale in my house for years and years, 2 months prior to surgery! I was only weighed at the doctor's office. Do you realize HOW much your weight can go up (it seldom was ever less unless I was a month into a new diet!!) when you go to the doctor two or three times a year??!!! Anyway, I got a digital, weigh* watch*rs brand scale from Bed, Bath & Beyond. It is very accurate, in fact I weighed the same at my three year check up on my bariatric doctor's scale as I did on mine, which was nice!! It is nutty, up and down, up and down, when it needs a new battery!! LOL

THIS ONE.

Stop looking just buy this one. BEST scale I've ever owned. Super consistent, looks great, works beautifully, easy to set up, and gives you fat, Water, muscle, and bone. Lovely to watch the fat percentage going down.

And 2377 reviews on Amazon and almost 5 stars. What more do you need?

Get your money back if at all possible....dannnggggg!

I have a scale but do not use it. Ironically I weight myself in the warehouse, we have scales calibrated to the half pound due to the material we sell and it is hella accurate.

See if you can't find an old-school one, like a doctor's scale and have it calibrated. If nothing else its fun to have. Have fun with it.

bought a health o meter scale that measures your body fat, hydration level, muscle mass and something else….but the darn thing hasnt moved in 5 days....maybe its broken too
