which scale to buy???

I have just started my getting healthy lifestyle about a week ago. I have been looking at scales but I have no clue which one to go with. I don't want to drop a ton of money on it since I am a poor college student but I want a good one that will be accurate. If i have to spend a pretty penny, to get something good enough I will. Also, I have been looking into the Fitbit. Is it good? Or should I look at a different brand? If so, what??

Would love the suggestions and if you can say why your suggesting it I would appreciate it!!!!

I've had a fitbit one for a month now and I love it! It keeps me accountable to myself and keeps challenging me to make better choices. Three days ago I purchased a Withings scale ($99) and while I know it is expensive, I also know that it will keep me accountable. Before buying this scale, I would only post my weight if I showed a decrease. Sometimes I would go weeks without logging my weight because I was so embarrassed. By the time that I decided to post it, I had already gained too much. I like that with the Withings, every time I weight in, it uploads my weight automatically to MFP. It also measures your % of fat mass and BMI.

I use a digital scale, but it doesn't measure body fat. As long as you're consistent with which scale you use, you should be fine. And don't weigh too much! It can get frustrating.
