I like to keep tabs on my weight:measurement ratio.....but my taylor brand scale pooped out after a meager year.

Anyone got a good and reliable scale brand?

    I just have a $20 one and it's been around for about 5 years or so. Nothing fancy but it works, I did have to put a new battery in it a little while ago.

    I have one that was about $20, and it is the biggest loser brand one. I have had it for a year and three months and it has seen HEAVY use! Not only do I weigh all of my food on it, I weigh all of my baking ingrediants as well. I like the Biggest Loserscale because it has 6.5 pound weight limit. This means I can put a bowl or plate on the scale and the portion right onto it without having to dirty more dishes. It also has a flat, glass platform on there, and not some rinky-dink peice of crap bowl I have to use. Hope this helps! :D

    Good luck in you continued fitness goals!

    I use my wii to track my weight. It's pretty accurate.

    I got this one:

    http://www.amazon.com/Eatsmart-Precision-Bathroom-Technology-440-Pounds/dp/B0032TNPOE/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1382816641&sr=8-2&keywords=eat+smart+scale

    My husband and I use it and it is fantastic. Extremely reliable, quite accurate, and big enough for each of us to stand on (we both have big feet).

    Salter are a good make.

    I bought a cheap digital scale and it would weigh 3 lbs different in 15 seconds so gave up on it and bought a Salter. I got one with the BF% measurement etc. I just monitor the other things once a month ( even though these things are not the most accurate) but the weight seems to work well compared to my last one especially as it seems to be going down.

    I went for Salter because the name has a good reputation

    Thanks guys! My taylor would be different each time-i just started taking an average. But a $36 scale lasting a year and just quitting? Not cool.

    Had this a few years it gets daily use and always weighs the same on hard floor.
