Hey all you KIWIS/AUSSIES (scales q)

get an analog scale, one that you can tare. i have one and i usually step on and off a couple times, making sure it's tare each time i get off, before i accept the number. besides, you don't really need to know how much you weigh to the tenth unless you're figuring out how much water/poop you're losing.

I am actually using scales from Kmart (cost $20). I thought they wouldn't last more than a month, but 3 years later they are still working well and show the same weight, even when I try a few times in a row. I have had more expensive, fancier brand ones, but these have been the best so far.

I need a reliable set of scales. I have a set at home (weight watchers ones) and they're BOLLOCKS! I'll stand on them...weigh an amount then stand on them immediately afterwards and weigh 5kg more. I dont trust them lol. What scales or brands do you recommend?

OMG! I was thinking of posting the same thing this morning! I have the WW scales and don't trust the damn things. I can fluctuate 6kg every time I use them.
That confirms my thoughts and I think I'll head out today for some new ones! Crazy a** piece of lying equipment!
(There, that told it!!)

Same here! Works better than my $80 one

I got mine using FlyBuys points They are Salter brand and work fantastically!

I've been using the Weightwatchers Scales & think they are fantastic.

Why? Because you can set up to 4 people's weight / height / age as different Users and they give you the total weight loss/gain, body fat %, goal weight etc.

I have always found that they are spot on & my hubby did too (he lost 20kgs last year on MFP & using these scales)

Definitely a worthwhile investment - I think maybe $60 - $80.. I can't remember exactly but have never had a problem with them at all

I've had some digital salter bathroom scales that I got half price either at Briscoes or Farmers for around $30. They take a 9 volt battery which I have replaced probably twice in the past 5 years. I find they are fairly consistent (even though I stepped on them 3 times this morning begging them just to go down 200gm - but alas they did not).

In saying that, my friend has a fancy set of Tanita body fat scales that estimate your BMR etc that you can store up to four peoples stats on (height, sex and age) as well as adding "guests" which I ask to borrow once a month to check my body fat. She did pay over a hundred dollars for them though, but she has had them for years and they keep on trucking! Having my body fat tested with calipers at the gym usually shows about 3 or 4% more than the fancy scales. I just use them as benchmarking/comparison - I trust them well enough.
