Can anyone recommend a good scale?

I bought my Taylor scale at Costco and I'm very happy with it. It's digital.

My husband bought one at walmart that tells us our weight, body fat %, water %, bmi, and bone mass, not on one screen of course, it flashes through 2 screens... I think. Anyway, it saves data for up to 4 people, its really kinda cool. It's made by Health O Meter.

I've had my Tanita scale for 10 years. Replaced the batteries 3 times. It's very accurate and measures body fat%. They are a little more expensive but, IMO, worth every penny.

You can purchase TANITA scales? AHHH I didnt know this, My doctor uses this on me and i LOVE the info!! May i ask where you purchased, and possibly a ball park range price ( if you are comfortable with it)

A good scale? None. They're all evil. haha

Seriously, though, I agree with getting ones that measure things other than simply weight. It's helpful for a couple reasons: 1. if you have a plateau in weight, you can continue to see fat loss by looking at the body %. 2. You can track body fat loss, since that's really what we're interested in (or gain for those who are using this site for gaining weight).

I've heard some good things about Tanita, but don't have any personal knowledge. So I'm a bit interested to see what brands people have good reviews of. (I, too, would like a fancier scale for the body fat % etc, not the weight)

Wow, it was 10 years ago...but I remember distinctly purchasing it at a health food store/vitamin store. I think I paid $65-100 for it 10 years ago!

I bought a Tanita tonight and it is awesome. It check body fat% and water hydration. It is amazing.

That's awesome! Mine doesn't do water hydration, I'm sure that's the new technology. Maybe it's time for a new scale I can donate this one. Eh...nah....I've grown quite attached to this one.

Yes we got it at Target tonight for $50 dollars and the water hydration is more than I expected and was actually something I found very helpful. My wife and I have been working very hard over the past few weeks to pick up our water consumption and we actually saw the results tonight on the scale. We are both hydrated in healthy ranges.

Whatever you buy, consider one with the ability to measure your body fat (not BMI) percentage. And once you get it, read the manual's fine print to ensure you are weighing as directed so the body fat percentage will be more reliable.

I haven't seen one of these that is right on yet, but regardless of how accurate it is, it will at least consistently show you your ups or downs in BF% so you'll know what you're doing is (or isn't) paying off. Be sure you don't try to get a BF% reading within a couple hours of sweating/showering or that'll throw it off. There are a few other caveats as well, but you'll find your scale's particular 'rules' in the manual. Read that and use the BF% numbers as your guide and suddenly the scale won't be a foe, it'll be a partner toward better health and fitness.
