    I have a digital Weight Watcher's scale from Bed, Bath, & Beyond. It works pretty well and can save your last weight.

    Although my parents have this one which is pretty nice...

    notebook and pen in the bathroom work just as well, then you can track your progress over time... Just an idea on how to save a buck in this tough economy.

    I weigh myself every morning, and keep a diary with my weight entered. Plus I keep a record on MFP no need to spend loads of money buying scales that record your weight.

    Hello,

    Here's a link to the scales I bought from Argos

    http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/8333009/Trail/searchtext>SCALES.htm

    They are the UK version of the link Rynoman sent, methinks.

    They can be setup for 4 separate individuals for the body analyser functions, but they don't "remember" your last weight. You need to note that somewhere (like MFP :smile:)

    I have found them to be very easy to use and accurate to boot.

    Basically, there are 100s of digital scales out there and they are all much of a muchness. Dial scales (domestic variety) are much less accurate as they can fluctuate depending on how you stand on them.

    Just remember... weighing every day (or even various times a day) is neither healthy nor an accurate reflection of your weight and weight loss. Once a week... same time, same place, same conditions (preferably naked if at home) ... weight loss is dependent on so many factors... primarily calories out > calories in, but hormones, medications, exercise, general well-being all have a part to play too.

    Good luck! :flowerforyou:

    Check out this link:

    http://www.goodhousekeeping.com/product-reviews/health-products/bathroom-scale-reviews/best-bathroom-scales#slide-1

    I checked it out before buying the EatSmart Precision Plus Digital Bathroom Scale which I have been very pleased with. I bought it off of Amazon but can't remember exactly how much I paid. I think it was in the $30 range. The display is very easy to read. There is no memory but I don't it so that was not any issue.

    When I posted the above response to another post on the same topic another user named StarGeezer added on the following:

    "This is the one I just bought as well. This particular scale has over 1,700 reviews, with 1,500+ being 5 stars, so I had a pretty high confidence factor going into the purchase that this was a good product. And it is currently under $40 as of this writing.

    Would probably be hard to go wrong with one of the EatSmart line, most of them score very high in customer reviews."

    I got this one: http://www.amazon.com/Eatsmart-Precision-Bathroom-Technology-440-Pounds/dp/B0032TNPOE/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1320708556&sr=8-2

    The one I previously bought was horrible inconsistent. It would vary in weight by several pounds if I stepped on it two times in a row. The one above I've had for several weeks and it's consistent and easy to read, etc. Plus it's a wide base so easy to use. I love it. and it's not that pricey.

    This model made by Eatsmart is less than $30 and has worked well for me. I was nervous because of the low price but it has been excellent so far. Amazon has tons of them for sale and the reviews are very helpful. Just study some of the reviews and you should be able to find something that will work for you in your price range.

    Best Wishes:)
    Scott
