Thank you. Is it digital or analog?? I heard most digital scales are inaccurate. I would prefer a digital over an analog but prefer an accurate weight as well.

I use my old German scale. It's a digital one. Looks pretty much like the Weight Watchers one. Saw it in BB&B. I wonder if they still have them on sale.

I just bought a fitbit aria and it does a great job. It automatically records the weight in my fitbit app so I don't have to worry about tracking it myself.

Thanks for the replies. The fitbit scale sounds interesting. I'll check it out. Thanks again!!!

Ok, I know I'm gonna be the odd one out

but

I love my Wii Fit. It is the most accurate scale I have ever had.

Of course if you don't have a Wii it would be pointless. But if you do, it has some cute exercises and it remebers all your info. One down size is that the lady is a little mean. :rolleyes:

That's what I've been using. Measuring, measuring, measuring, Done lol. I just wasn't sure how accurate it actually is. I just got a WW digital scale. I'll check them both at the same time and see if results match.

OMG that is so funny. I love at the end when she says, "That's Obese".

"No @#$%^& @#$% I'm obese. That's why I'm here."

I curse her out every time.
