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.

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!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
