I need a new scale...what kind should I get? If I could I would get the one that syncs with MFP but that price is a bit much :(. Kind of scale do you use and do you like it?!

    I just bought a relatively cheap scale ($20) at Bed Bath and Beyond. It measures to 0.5 pound. I didn't think I needed anything more accurate than that. It has served me well. It doesn't attempt to measure my body fat, talk to me, interface with a MFP or make coffee, but I'm perfectly happy with that. I can manually enter my weight each week!

    I got this scale in October, the first one was defective and the company reached out to me when I did a review on it on Amazon.com and replaced. The second one has worked perfect. Ozeri Touch 400

    I am using the scale on my Wii fit board. Pretty accurate.

    I've got a Weight Watchers scale - its £19.99 at Argos - www.argos.co.uk - if you're in the states, I'm sure you can find a similar one on Amazon for a reasonable price
    Mine measures weight to the decimal point along with BMI, water % and body fat %, although I mainly focus on weight and BMI.

    I love it :happy:

    It is accurate; I got sick of it telling me I was obese every time I wanted to weigh in however in the early days. Also, it's a lot of faffing when you just want to weigh quick in the morning.

    I use Weight Watchers electronic scales. I think nowadays they're all pretty good :)

    Mine is a pretty good one. I think it is a Health-O-Meter, but I will have to get it out of the closet to make sure. I don't see it that often.

    I use the Fitbit Aria. Syncs in to my fitbit account and MFP. Expensive and it tells me things I really don't want to hear but should. It can separate in to multiple accounts so more than one person can use it. Not bad.
