I really don't trust my scale anymore (I know, I bet a lot of people say that, ha!) but seriously, I am having doubts to its accuracy. I pretty much know you get what you pay for (I paid about 30 bucks for this one) but if anyone has suggestions as to type, supplier, pricing, etc- I'd really appreciate it, thanks!

    You probably want to specify whether you mean a food scale or a body scale - guessing you mean body though?

    I found a few threads on this on friday, and it varies a lot by actual model, as well as supplier. I was going to get a glass Salter scale with the body fat measurement ability, but in the end I decided to stick with my wii fit board instead.

    I have a digital scale. "Health-o-meter" is the brand name. No bells and whistles, but very consistent and reliable. Paid maybe 35 dollars at Target or Walmart. Stay away from analog. They give you false low readings.

    Me and my housemate use the weight watchers scale LCD precison I think. You can get them in Tesco and they are pretty good.

    I have the basic Weight Watchers one. Bought it at Kmart on sale for under $20. It keeps info for 4 users, tracks starting weight, goal weight, current weight, and total lost or gained. It's really easy to set up and use to!

    (yep, I meant body scale and not food scale :-) Thanks, everyone! I have a lot to research- sure to find something. One more thing, no one mentioned the type of scale that you see in the Dr.'s office. (the sliding weight/bar type) Sure no one want's to keep something like that in their bathroom, but I have a workout area in my garage, would be perfect. Thanks again for all the advice :-)

    I use the digital biggest loser scale. I got it at bed bath and beyond for $8. Some of them are so expensive and this one was inexpensive and very accurate.
