Scale suggestions

TheGoalDigger

Hello all
I was wondering if you guys can give me some suggestions on what scale i should buy? Some scales are not accurate enough and some just don't work after a while.

What are some good brands and where did you purchase it?

Use a measuring tape first, there will be times you will hit plateaus and think your not loosing but in fact your body is changing. I did not look at a scale for nearly a month, then after the 3rd month (currently) I have hit my plateau for 4 weeks and it was a total bummer and disappointment,.... not seeing those numbers drop....... but there was a light! the measurements on my waist and thighs dropped! So include to log your measurements every 2 weeks.

I would suggest one of those old fashioned scales. I have a digital one and it can fluctuate by 1 kg during 3 readings at the same time of the morning. I never know my real weight loss that way.

I have an old-fashioned one. It fluctuates, too, as it doesn't zero itself, but it's usually within half a pound. I prefer it to digital simply because I wasn't willing to pay 30 bucks when I can get something just as good for 8. Also, I feel you have more control over it, because you can actually see how far under or over zero it is and adjust accordingly.

I *love* my scale. It's geeky, high-tech, and a bit pricey, but it does everything I want it to do including recording my weight for me on a website.
