I decided I'm going to have a digital weight scale at home. Usually I just weight myself at my health club but
now I only go the club in the evening.
Any scale would do or I have to look for a certain brand?

    I have two scale and both came from Costco for under $30.

    The first one is a Weight Watcher scale made by Conair which is relatively accurate.

    The second one is a Bowflex that calculates your fat content...I got it specifically for this reason.

    I like the Bowflex one better since it shows you your prior weigh in and tells you your BMI every time you get on the scale.

    Bowflex is from Costco? I don't trust fat% from the scale but I like it b/c it keeps the prior weight.

    I went with a fairly expensive digital scale but would get a different reading each time I stepped on the scale....Im talking about within the same few minutes! I decided to go with the old timey scale the doctors have with the weights that slide across the top, and this one gives me the same reading unless I have gained or lost weight. Perhaps I just had a bad digital scale, since others are happy with theirs, but I like sliding the weight and watching it slide less and less each week! It also gets the reading up high for us older folks that have to have readers.

    Costco has been selling both of them for the New Years. I tried to find the Bowflex scale on Amazon and can't find it. I think the closest thing to what mine looks like is this: http://www.amazon.com/Taylor-Bowflex-Regular-Athlete-400-Pounds/dp/B004WMEA12/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1324960012&sr=8-1
