Anyone know where I can get a decent digital weighing scale for cheap? I'l been seeing ones that are 20+ dollars and I really don't want to spend THAT much.

    I think you need to get a good one, so your readings will be consistent. It is a good investment.

    Forget the scale. Keep track of your body measurements with a soft tape measure. Less than $10, I believe.

    Was that for weighing food?I paid $20 for mine and it has been well worth the investment.

    Nope, it's for weighing myself. I rather weigh myself than measure myself to be honest.

    I found a decent but not great digital scale at Walgreens for $10 but it might have been on sale.

    I agree with those that say spend the extra money and get a good digital scale. Target and Wal-mart have several for around $30 that should last a long time and give accurate readings.

    I've lost 9 pounds so far, and haven't noticed a difference in inches. For me, the number on the scale is what motivates me; a tape measure would only discourage me.

    I'd be sure to invest in a decent digital! I have a Weight Watchers scale that I love, but it costs more than $20.
