BEST body weight scale?



Recommended Posts

So when I was on my pre-op diet and had a couple cheat days, I became so stressed out that I was re-gaining (apparently I didn't really cheat THAT much, I guess I just felt really guilty!)

Anyway, I went to my NUT appt and weighed in and discovered I'd actually lost 5 pounds. It was my scales fault - I'm thinking it is off between 3 and 6 pounds and I need a new one.

Please offer a few options...some may be interested in weight only, others weight/BMI, whatever bells & whistles out these days.....many thanks for sharing your knowledge!

All scales are off a few pounds. I upgraded to a scale that has more bells and whistles. Got it at bed bath and beyond. It gives, weight, body fat, muscle mass, Water weight and bone density.

I admit, I bit scale crazy. I'm trying to weigh myself each week not everyday.

I have a Yunmai scale that measures body fat %. I've had the opportunity to compare its measurements against measurements from a DEXA body fat scan on 3 separate occasions a couple months apart. Each time, the Yunmai scale was dead on whereas the Tanita medical-grade scale at my doctor's office (with more bells/whistles, costing >$1000) was quite a bit off most of the time.

I love my greater goods scale I bought off Amazon. It tracks weight, BMI, muscle mass, bone density, body fat, and Water content. It’s Bluetooth connected so it automatically logs in my app. Obviously the BMI, muscle mass, etc might not be 100% accurate but I enjoy it because even though my weight loss has really reallllly slowed, I’ve put on significant muscle mass.

I also measure myself occasionally since I find that to be a better way to tell how my body has changed.

I just have a set that measured really high weight. Now that I have lost 100lb I don't need such heavy duty and I'm thinking about new ones too. I can't work out how they measure all that stuff like Water weight and bone density it's amazing really

Me either. I just assume it isn’t entirely accurate. But it’s still nice seeing my body fat go down and muscle mass go up when the scale number doesn’t change.

I got the con air weight watchers scale for fifty bucks. Comes with app to track measurements for BMI Water etc. I wouldn’t spend a fortune.

Hi Pam! Welcome to the boards. I paid $59.99 on Amazon and the app is free. I believe it was the least expensive Bluetooth + automatic app tracking option I could find. It’s great.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
