I don't plan to obsess about weighing myself every day, but I would like to have a good (accurate) scale at home for after surgery. Does anyone have a recommendation on a good scale?

I've got one that I've had for 10 years, and I don't think it's very accurate. It does show a loss of 20 pounds from when I was weighed at my seminar but I don't know if that's true or not. Of course, I had clothes on at the seminar weigh-in.

This is the scale I just ordered from Amazon. I can't give an official review, as I have yet to receive it, but the two reviews already placed by owners are both 5-stars.

[ame=http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000Q6RECK]Amazon.com: Health o meter 844KL High Capacity Digital Bathroom Weight Scale with 1.5 in. LCD, 440 lb x 0.1 lb: Health & Personal Care[/ame]

It's got a high weight limit (400lbs) and a large screen for easy reading.

I agree with you, I don't want to obsess over me weight either, but I do want to be able to see when my weight loss starts slowing down so I know to go in for a fill.

I have a digital Health-O-Meter. It has settings for up to 2 people. You can input your age, and it will calculate your body fat percentage as well as your weight. I've had for little over 2 years now, and it's been very accurate.

I have an older Tanita scale. It has settings for 4 people and 3 of them will give not just the weight but the body fat percentage. If it ever dies, I'll probably buy the latest Tanita to replace it. They've got one that measures more than body fat that I have my eye on. It's this one:

Tanitas are the best. I've had mine for over 10 years and it is very accurate.

Thats the same one i have and I love it.

I totally concur with the above comments! It is great to have a scale that tracks body fat percentage and Water weight as well. (don't be afraid of the metal pads that send the electrical pulse - you can't feel it at all)

Seeing my body fat go from 50% to 42% in less than 3 months has almost been as motivating as watching the weight loss! Eeek! How did I ever let myself get to being "half fat"?!?

Does anyone know if any stores like Walmart/Kmart etc have scales that goto 400 ? possibly 450 I weigh 416 but I know I'll be below 400 soon.

I'm relying on the surgeons scales and going by that. I bought a new pair of scales and they weigh me 2kg heavier than the surgeons. I figure his are a good sign of how I'm going as that's what I was initially weighed on.
