What Scale does everyone use!

KristenMarie1181

Hello everyone! I would like to know what scales are you using to weigh yourself. If you weigh yourself everyday that is. Preferably a scale that goes up to 400 pounds! I have a scale that isn't right. And I really don't want to wait in line at the doctors office every morning just to get weighed either. I need to save my gas and that be very boring in the long run haha

Ah well it matters to me because I weight A LOT and I wanna see progress. I wanna see my real weight not a weight that gives me 5 pounds then I really am

I use the Fitbit Aria (weight limit is 350 lbs). It's also not a cheap scale.

I suggest looking on amazon. They have a few on their that are reasonably priced, have good reviews, and have a 400lb weight limit. This one for example has 17,xxx reviews with a rating of 4.6 stars:

I have never had good luck with scales bought at walmart. Not sure if it's the scales or if I just have crappy luck and always get a lemon.
My last one from walmart (don't remember the brand) wouldn't register 2- 5lb dumbbells and when I tried 2- 25 lb dumbbells (thinking maybe the 5's were just too light), it registered 25-40 lbs depending on how they were placed.

I use the WeightGURU scale I got off of Groupon. I love it because I can sync my results with my phone and keep track of trends and detailed progress.

Withings WS-50 because I'm lazy and wanted accountability, since it updates your weight in the app for you it makes it harder to fib the numbers up.

Withings WS-50 is a wifi scale like the Fitbit Aria.

KristenMarie1181

Oooh! I had no idea! But is it something you stand on? omg sorry. I am not scale savvy. Maybe I should use my friend (google). haha

Yep.

Withings WS-50 ($150):


Fitbit Aria ($130):


The withings scale does measures HR and air quality (odd features for a scale if you ask me) and the Fitbit doesn't. Other than that they are pretty much the same.

Both are connect to wifi and upload your weight data to apps. The apps can be synced with MFP so that your weight is automatically updated.

Thanks @shadow2soul ! I really like the scale and it's reliability / dependability, I can weigh myself on it 4-5 times and never be off more than .1 lb when I first got it to test it out. That's the most important factor over anything when getting a scale

I use this one from Amazon. It goes up to 550lbs and talks (so I don't have to try and see down to read the scale. Step on it, and it says hello and in a couple seconds it says I'm ready, step on it and it will tell you your weight to .2 precision. http://www.amazon.com/My-Weigh-XL-550-Talking-Bathroom/dp/B0014ZQH84/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1432775242&sr=8-1&keywords=500lb+scale

I use the EatSmart Getfit digital scale, which works very well. It does body fat % and a few other measurements in addition to weight, but no connectivity features. EatSmart has some newer scales that do bluetooth, and the company is well regarded on Amazon.

I LOVE love love this scale - because it is so simple and elegant. This brand - AccuPoint - is just a body weight scale, and no other stuff, so NO SETUP!! And when you wanna weigh, you don't have to tap it. Just step on. And it's really accurate. Just like they say. It's on Amazon. I think that's the only place you can get it. Everyone in my family admires it so much that - I bought 2 more - they'r the best christmas gifts. One for my sister and one for my mom. My mom has an elegant tricked out bathroom, so she loves the design of this scale. I think's it's the most beautiful scale I've ever seen. It goes with any bathroom. I'll post a picture from amazon. And here's thr link spelled out: http://www.amazon.com/Most-Accurate-Bathroom-Scales-Step/dp/B01623P59Y BTW, I really glad I found this forum. I'm enjoying all the info. Get fit everyone!! Good luck.

I use this one and it goes up to 440lbs.
I bought it online and have had it over a year with no problem.

Personally I prefer a scale that weighs in increments of 0.1 lbs so that it's more accurate. Most scales weigh in 0.2 or 0.5 lb increments.

My scale is a Weight Watchers scale and is very reliable, but I've had it for 10+ years so I'm not sure they even make them any more.
