Recommend a body fat/weight scale to sync with MyFitness Pal?

I've been using My Fitness Pal for about 6 months now. I was looking for an affordable scale I can synch with the app, but the reviews (and prices) on Amazon are all over the map.

Can anyone recommend one that integrates well with MFP? I have an old fashioned scale and I weigh myself on it fairly regular, but I don't generally record it unless it is consistently up or down for a few days straight (and am curious to track body fat measurements, even if the bioimpedence ones aren't super accurate).

    Hi kentdurham - I bought the FitBit Aria for $110.00, which syncs with FitBit and with MyFitnessPal. It gives you weight and body fat %. I took it back after a week because it did not give me consistent weights when stepping on and off the scale and was two pounds under my old scale readings. I know that I shouldn't expect both scales to give same weight. I was more troubled with the inconsistencies stepping on and off within minutes and getting big differences in weight.

    After taking the FitBit Aria back, I bought the Withings WS-50 for $140.00, which gives you more than you really need. In addition to weight and body fat %, it gives you your heart rate, carbon monoxide reading in your room and the current weather. :-) The Withings WS-50 provides more consistent weight readings and the weights are the same as my old scale. The Withings also syncs with FitBit and MyFitnessPal.

    I did see another wi-fi scale that was a little cheaper, but I am not sure what reviews it received.
