I got a Health-O-Meter from Walmart. It cost me about $20 and it can actually store weight loss for two people!

If you go to Bed, Bath and Beyond, go onto their Web site and sign up for Emails and get the 20% off coupon

I have one similar, but it "reads body fat and water levels". But they are way off!! Would not recommend getting one that does that because it reads by body fat as 10% more than the handheld ones.

I also have a health o meter from wal mart that has worked better than the much more expensive one I had previously.

I just bought a TAYLOR digital scale. Its made in the usa & its great!
I love the digital & the large numbers & best yet is the indiglo, so its bright & easy to read.
I paid $30 for it at K-MART...,
Walmart has it too for about the same price
good luck!

I have a digital scale from Weight Watchers. It seems to be very accurate, and it can store user data for four people so that it tells you how much your weight has changed since last weigh in and since you began recording it. I don't remember what I paid for it, but knowing me it was under $30.

I also got the Health-O-Meter from Walmart. It was $18 and has a built-in memory to store the most recent weigh-in for two people. So far it's been accurate; unlike my old one which was reading two pounds lighter. (Which meant after I got the new one, it looked on my daily weigh-in like I had gained two pounds! ouch lol)

I'd HIGHLY recommend the Escali scales.

I first tried the Taylor digital. I could never get the same reading twice. I could get on and have one reading, get off, and then immediately get back on and have a reading as much as 3 pounds off from the first reading. Really frustrating for me.

Next, I went back to the basics and tried one of the non-digital, older style ones with the dial (can't remember the brand). It seemed to be fairly accurate. Problem was that I had a hard time reading the dial. The markings were so close together that I still couldn't pin down an exact weight, so I was forced to estimate within about a 3 pound range.

Frustrated by my previous 2 scales, I spent a lot of time researching various scales online and reading reviews prior to purchasing my 3rd. I narrowed it down to an Omron and an Escali. Based on slightly better reviews, I chose the Escali and I have never regretted my decision. I've owned it for 2 years now and it has always given me a completely accurate reading every single time. My only goal was a scale that would give me consistently accurate readings, but this scale also measures percentage of body fat, body water, and weight for up to ten individual users, and stores previous weights if you want to keep track. I'm still on the original batteries and have no complaints at all. I loved it so much that I later also purchased their food scale to weigh meat, etc and it is just as accurate and I have been just as pleased.

I have the Health-O-Meter from Wal-Mart too. Seems to be pretty popular on here. Before I had MFP to keep track, I really liked the memory feature. Now I just use it for my kids.
