Scale recommendations - I don't trust mine



Recommended Posts

I also have the Fitbit Aria and I love it. I agree the the body fat percentages are sometimes a little off but the weight has been spot on and accurate.

I'd immediately rebox that scale and take it back for a refund to wherever you bought it! No need for something so inaccurate!

Sadly I threw out the box last week when I bought it. :( At least it was only $20 so I didn't waste a ton of money.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I'd love to get one of the smart scales but I don't think I have it in my budget. Maybe I'll save up for one. :)

I've got a fancy Withings internet connected scale. It keeps track of several statistics and graphs them all for me. I like it enough that I actually just ordered an upgraded version for $129(I had the healthmate). The new one is supposed to give me muscle mass, Water mass, etc. I realize these are all calculated things and subject to error (as is the fat mass measurement now that seems to vary an awful lot) but the overall trend still is helpful.

Funny thing though -- while my measurements seem to be accurate (who really knows) sometimes I get on the scale and it gives me truly crazy readings (like I way 24.7 pounds) -- OK maybe when I as 5 months old! I pick it up and move it and then I get a true reading. Go figure.

I would never spend $129 on a scale! I don't need a scale that can tell me all those masses; I just want to know what I weigh.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
