I searched for a thread on this and didn't find one, so I'm starting one. What is a good brand of bathroom scale? I prefer the digital ones so that way I can't fudge that results and pretend the needle is really five pounds below where it actually is. But I don't want the body fat percentage stuff. Just a scale.

I broke my scale again. It is supposed to hold up to 340 pounds. Nope. I originally broke it (by weighing myself) pre band at about 280. Then DH fixed it recently and it was working ok and it broke again, when I was weighing myself. I'm writing the manufacturer! I'm 100 pounds under the supposed limit.

Here are 2 threads with bathroom scale recommendations

I have an electronic one that just does weight. The brand is Thinner(you think they're hinting to something?) It's not the best. It has a 330lb limit and it worked when I weighed 310 lbs. You can't always get a consistent reading. I can step on it once and it will give me a reading and then 20 seconds later it gives me a different number. So even though you can't fudge the readings because the number is what it says you are, the number isn't always right or it changes.

I now use a mechanical Health-o-Meter scale that is at least 20 years old but is very accurate. It has the little leveling bubble to balance the scale. You can't fudge the readings on this one either. Either the bubble is balanced in the middle or it's not. The difference between this one and my digital scale can be a 6lbs. difference. My mechanical one says it's a "doctor's scale" and so far, my numbers at home have been perfectly consistent with the scales in multiple doctors' offices.

I did not pay for this one and I have no idea how much was paid for it. I know that doctor's scales like these run a bit expensive starting at $150 and many are more expensive. You may not have to buy the expensive ones if you don't want to spend the money. Just find one that gives you consistent results so you can see the changes from when you weigh yourself to the next time you weight yourself, but just know that the scale at the doctor's office might be slightly higher than yours. Good Luck
