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!

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
