Scales (at home)...are any very accurate?



Recommended Posts

I'd like to find some good accurate scales. Does anyone know who makes and sells good scales?

Mine go up and down even though, my eating pattern hasn't changed since surgery, grrrrrrrr...........I feel they are unrelaible. They make me feel awful!

I get very obsessive with lbs and scales so I go by how much looser my clothers are and make myself wait till my next Dr appoinment to find out my weight loss.

I purchased the WW version of a digital glass scale by Conair at costco. goes to 400lbs. It has been very accurate with the Dr's scale.

I've heard Tanita scales are awesome! There make some plain jane ones and then they have some that are about $90-120 or more that measure everything. Here's the description of my favorite one and a pic....

>> The Tanita BC533 Glass Innerscan Body Composition Monitor is one of the most comprehensive body monitors on the market today that's designed for home use. Using advanced Bioelectric Impedance Analysis (BIA) technology that was previously available only to medical professionals, health clubs and professional athletes. Monitoring features help you keep tabs on your body composition and health. There is more to healthy dieting than weight loss alone. Body fat percentage measurements are also important indicators of good health.

This monitor analyzes a full range of body measurements, including weight, body fat percentage, body Water percentage, metabolic age, physique rating, visceral fat, muscle mass, and bone mass. It's a mouthful of measurements, but what it means is that with the Tanita BC533, you now have the unprecedented ability to monitor your body and the effects of your diet and fitness routines, comfortably and affordably in the convenience of your own home.

I have a Tanita - not the fancy one. I love it, it measures me two lbs less than the doctor's scale, but since it is consistantly two lbs. I can live with it.

Here's a link to the scales I have- HealthoMeter Body Fat & Body Water Fitness Tracking scale - Wal-Mart

I absolutely love my scales and they are right on with my lapband doctor's scales. You can program your information (height, weight, gender, etc.) and it will track how much weight you have lost and how much more you need to lose to get to your goal weight. It also keeps up with your BMI as you lose weight. They're awesome!

      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.
