Body weight scale recommendations



Recommended Posts

I'm celebrating my 2 year surgery anniversary in a few days and want to Celebrate by buying myself an excellent body weight scale. I've been using an old WW digital scale for years and the thing that bugs me is that I can weigh myself three times in a row and get three different readings on it.

So - what's your suggestion for the Best Scale Ever - or the best type of scale (digital? balance beam? analog?)

I have this Body Analyzer 1. It was sponsored by a few youtube channels, where you can get 10-15% -off. I posted the link for it below. However before buying it, check youtube vloggers for discount codes ;)

I have a Withings. It connects to my phone via wifi or bluetooth (don't remember which) and syncs with My Fitness Pal. I've had it a year and love it. I'm not sure how accurate it is on body fat, though. But it's a great scale. https://www.withings.com/us/en/products/body

I was at Target a few months ago and I found a Weight Watchers digital blue tooth scale on clearance for less than 20 bucks. It does weight, BMI, muscle mass, and a few other things. I really like it.

We carry Yunmai wireless scales and the infamous Escali scales in the BariatricPal Store. I personally use the Yunmai and love it!

I have been a fan of the FitBit Aria for years! If you already have a FitBit, it syncs to the app and updates for you!

I hate my Fitbit Aria... I never get consistent weights even after "recalibrating" it like they suggest if this happens... this morning I got 8 different weights that were up to a 6lb difference... so frustrating especially since it wasn't a cheap scale.< /p>

If you buy a wireless one, understand the technology first, especially if you live in a rural area. I had one that used AT&T cell towers but I'm in the boonies with Verizon towers. scale worked, but would never transmit.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      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!!
