Your favorite scale?

Anyone have a favorite scale they use? I feel like splurging and the one I have now is horrible.. the most basic you can get and only works half the time!

I'm probably going to be spending a lot of time on this sucker..

I have a basic digital scale that works fine now. I bought it when I was at my highest weight because it was one that was supposed to work at that weight. It really didn't start giving me an accurate reading until I lost some weight so early out I only weighed at the doctors office. That was the best thing that could have happened for me because it kept me from obsessing about the scale.

I am saying all that to encourage you NOT to weigh often or drive yourself crazy. You might want to even consider not buying one for a while to see how it goes.

IF I bought a new scale today, since my weight is lower, I might consider going with one that synchs with MyFitnessPal, but it really isn't required. I also would look at one that also shows body fat. But, since I have access to that at my surgeon's office and my wellness center it isn't critical that I have one.

I have the Taylor 7506, which settles on weight quickly and reproducibly if I step on it multiple times. The displayed weight seems to match that on the scale in my bariatric surgeon's office, so it also looks to be quite accurate. It's also quite reasonably priced and looks nice.
