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.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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?
