i heard from another thread that the Tanita HD351 is a good and accurate scale. i have two scales and they say different things one upstairs says 224.5 and the one down stairs says 219.0. i want to weigh and measure myself every fridays but i cant weigh myself unless i know i have a good and accurate scale. i know i said i wasnt going to weigh myself til i go for follow up's or fills but id like to know every fri or every other

I have the Tanita HD 351. It is a fabulous scale. Very accurate (my weights are consistent with those at my physicians office), and easy to use. I like that the different user buttons record the last weight. My husband weighs on #1 and I use #2. Whenever I hit #2, it pops up with my most recent weight. I do not remember how much we paid for the scale, but it was not cheap. If you already have 2 scales, you could just pick which one you want to use. Even if the scale isn't 100% accurate, it should still reflect accurate weight loss.

Like the previous poster said, even if it isn't 100% accurate and in-sync with your doctor's scale, you can still track your weight loss.

I work at a hospital, so I use the big "professional" scale there...it's always about 3 pounds off compared to my doctors. But this way I know if it says I weight 214, then my doctor's office will show 217.

I was going to say "Tanita" but I think I may have been the one who said it was great in the other post! :crying:

Just fyi when I bought it I was a frequent poster on the WW chat board for super obese people so used that resource to scan old posts about bath scales, plus asked on several forums for people's favorites, and Tanita won hands down for durability and functionality and accuracy. Plus I read reviews on Amazon about it. So I selected the one that worked best for me.

You may not need a scale that will weigh up to 440 and if you don't, any Tanita branded scale is likely to be a good piece of equipment. :thumbup:
