I have never owned a scale and I want to get one so I can weigh myself at home, but I have no idea what kind or brand to get...

What brand of scale do you have?
What do you look for when buying a scale?
Do you go for something basic, or do you want it to measure Body Fat, Hydration, Muscle Mass, etc...?

Thanks in advance for your help!! :flowerforyou:

    I have one that measures BF% and hyrdration and I am fairly certain the % are WAY off. It has me at 33% BF which is CRAP. I would just stick to a standard scale. IMO

    I have a Weight Watchers brand. It stores previous weights for several people, though I don't use any of that.

    I'd suggest a simple digital scale (digital so you have for fractional measurements).
