What Kind of Scale do you Have? Do you like it?

[Diana_in_Philly 1,426]

Our scale is very unreliable. (It is one of the $19.99 Weight Watchers scales). If you get on it three times in a row, you have three different weights. If you move it two inches on the tile bathroom floor and stand on it, your weight changes. So, as I'm making my way toward my surgery (no date yet but likely in late August or early September), I'm looking for a new scale. While I'm willing to spend a good bit, I'm skeptical of these scales that are $150 or more. If it is that expensive, I'd love for it to be able to send the data to my phone. Any recommendations? Thanks, Diana

For what it's worth, I've been using the scale at the Y to compare and confirm. I'm down 8 pounds since my first visit with my surgeon on May 11.

Right before my surgery I purchased the WW body analysis glass scale. It was around $40 at Target, but I feel it was worth the investment.

I will point out in the operating manual, it did state that to put it in one place, and continue to weigh there.

If weight fluctuates that much in different areas....I'd like to find the place that lets me see 130 pop up. Lol.

I bought one at Walmart for $40 and I like it so far (as much as I can actually like a scale that tells me every morning that I'm a fatty)! lol I think it is the Taylor all glass one (measures body fat, etc.).

I love to sew, and over the years I occasionally sew an outfit for friends. I always measure them in cm, rather than inches because - vanity. ha. :-) makes no difference to the finished garment.

I have a Tanita digital scale that weighs to .2lbs. It's very reliable and I didn't pay more than $45 bucks for it. I always way at the same time, MONDAY MORNING, after my "morning ritual" and I usually hop on/off at least 2-3 times to make sure that was really my weight.

AND I'm "ONLY" 13 stone 5lbs.....if that makes any sense at all!

[Margie122 845]

Oh and weighing in kg's! Love it....I'm only 85 kilograms! WOO HOO!

I have the Aria scale by Fitbit. Since I use my fitbit to track my food and activities this scale is wonderful. It automatically syncs to my fitbit app. I have historical data on my entire weight loss journey. (Including fat% and BMI) It has really helped me because I can see what I lose each week or month etc. I just love it.

I use the Withings scale - I got it mostly because it connects to my wifi and updates both Fitbit and MFP with my progress. It also shows BMI and the weather for the day (which is super helpful for me since sometimes I have no idea it's raining outside until I open the door to leave for work).

Too tight - lose a few pounds Too loose - satisfying smile

I have had 2 Siltec industrial scales. Both lasted about 10 years. The first had a weight capacity of 500 but a friend got on it and broke it as she weighed more than 500 pounds. The second Siltec I got was for 1000 pounds just in case that friend weighed again. This time the on/off button went bad. They are very heavy scales weighing about 28 pounds each and only weigh in pound increments.

I was done with Siltec so I looked around and last week got a Taylor glass platform that has a 440 pounds capacity and weighs in increments of .2 pounds. When it registers your weight it beeps at you. It is great to see the weight going down even if it is .2 of a pound. In the past I never so any changes unless it was a whole pound.

I have this one and I love it. It sends it to my phone and tracks changes in my body fat, muscle weight, Water weight, etc.,
