Hey guys!

So, I'm sick of my WW scale and its crazy weight mood swings from minute to minute. Whats you favorite and most reliable brand? I'd love to get a doctor scale but its just way too much. Thanks guys.

    You might try snagging a used doctor's balance beam scale. Unfortunately, we sometimes have to scrap them and switch to a digital bariatric scale because the patients are too large or frail to stand on the platform.
    I bought a home model balance beam scale, with a waist-high beam, around 30 years ago at the old Service Merchandise for $100, if memory serves. It still weighs perfectly.

    I have a digital scale from Homedics. It was about 40 bucks from ****s sporting goods. It has ability to store info for 2 users, measures your body fat and body water %s (unreliably) but it measures weight to a tenth of a pound and has been perfect for me since I bought it in December.

    Well I have a crappy scale myself, but my mom loves her scale that she bought at Jenny Craig and it does seem to be reliable.

    My favourite scale is one that tells me I have lost weight and that I should in fact eat those chips! Ironically, I haven't found one like that......

    Seriously though, I don't currently own a scale because I think I would get too obsessed with weighing myself. If I do get one though I would look for the digital kind that also measures body fat.

    good luck!

    I use my cheap Sun Beam scale...I made sure it was correct by putting 2, 5 pound weights on each side to measure out 10. Then I take them off to weigh myself :)

    Just bought a WW scale and I really like it. I had a homemedics scale for almost 10 years and it finally broke, I liked it too.

    My scale is a 'Go Walking' scale by 'Sportline'. I hate it...I can step on it 3x and get 3 different numbers within 1-1.5lbs.

    ANNOYING.

    EatSmart Precision Digital Bathroom Scale. Wonderfully reliable. It'll run you about $30 on Amazon.

    I use a Taylor digital scale. I killed one, but returned it and new one works great!

    i think i have the same one; definitely worth the money, but i agree about the unreliability of the body fat and water %
