What kind of scale do you use.

I am in the market to purchase a scale so that I can start weighing myself weekly at home. What is a good scale to use and where did you get yours.

I have the fitbit Aria scale. It retails for $129.99 I think. I only picked it up because I had left over christmas gift cards. It's a pretty nice scale and automatically syncs to the app on my phone so I can keep track and with my fitbit online profile. It also measures out body fat % (It's an estimate) and can keep several different profiles stored.

I did have "the biggest loser scale" I can't remember the brand but it was much cheaper and also was pretty accurate. Hope this helps

I just ordered this scale - its getting delivered today so I can't say if I like it yet, but it was recommended to me by a few people and its pretty cheap/no frills which I like:)

I should add you can order it in USA also, for less $

Don't get the one I have, it only goes up and never down! It can really throw your motivation off!

I indulged in a FitBit Aria this weekend because I want to understand my fluctuations. It has pretty well guaranteed satisfaction, as it has recorded a loss three days in a row!

It also helps that I already use a FitBit Zip, so I'm all registered and ready to go.

Hubby won't be able to use it unless he registers, LOL!

I use a Weight Watchers digital scale, about $20 at Kmart. It keeps track of my starting weight, weight I've lost or gained, and my goal weight. It's very accurate, lightweight and slim.

I just want to recommend to everyone that no matter which scale you buy, be sure to CHECK ITS PRECISION! And to be clear, precision is not the same as accuracy:



...thus precision is how REPEATABLE your results are. Most of us here are most interested in the (negative) change in our weight, not the number in of itself.

Why do I mention this? -- because like mram3582 I too bought a cheap "Health O'Meter" mid-price digital scale from Walmart and within a five minute period without changing clothes nor eating/drinking/evacuating(sorry..), with stepping on the scale five times, I would get five VERY DIFFERENT measurements. So I returned the scale.

So again: whatever scale you get, be sure to test -- without making any changes to your weight -- several times to ensure the scale gives you the same (or very close to the same) number. If it doesn't, return it.

I bought mine at Walmart. I have been eyeing Fitbit's scale though.

I have the Weight Watcher's One from Bed, Bath, and Beyond. It weighs everyone about 1lb heavier but it is VERY consistent.

I use a weight watchers scale as well. Got it from Bed Bath and Beyond. I think it was 30 something dollars. It measures your weight, bmi, water, bone, muscle and something else.

I have had this one since 2006 and it still works great.

I just use a digital I bought at a chain store. It does ok. It changes a bit if I place it in different locations on the same floor. I don't mind it.

I have an Eatright Scale from Amazon.

This one: http://www.amazon.com/EatSmart-Precision-Bathroom-Capacity-Technology/dp/B001KXZ808/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1418282268&sr=8-1&keywords=scale

It has been pretty consistent.
