Good Scales. HELP!

i got one of the biggest loser scales from bed bath & beyond. it's in .2 increments and cost about $40. also came with a biggest loser cookbook. there's come cool setting on it too, but i just use it for my weight it was the THIRD scale i bought and didn't have to return because it was broken or didn't work. i love it.

I am in the market for a new scale. My old one died and I want a really nice one to continue on my weight loss. Any suggestions?

Scales are very accurate, the human body's weight isn't. It can fluctuate 5lbs per day. I'd invest in a tape measure :-O

I want to know this too. My scale is 4 lbs light. I have my friend weight herself at work, ( she works at the post office and their scale is checked regulary) I would like to believe I am 4 lbs lighter then I am but....

I know everyone says to measure instead of weigh, but I've lost 42 lbs in 5 months and have onlt lost 1 inch off my legs, 0.5 inches off my arms, and 2 inches off my waist. If that was all I was going by to motivate me to keep going I wouldve quit already. Last time I lost alot of weight, the inches came off and it was very rewarding, but I guess my body didn't cooperate this time. I've used the biggest loser scale in the past, but the batteries ran out, which I've never had happen with a scale before, so just a heads up!

I have a Weightwatchers 4-in-1 Body Analyser scale. It allows you to set up a profile for up to 10 different people that will be using it. It's very accurate as it factors in age, height and gender. It can measure in kg, pounds and stone. The 4-in-1 function measures Weight, BMI, Body Fat %, Water %. I love it!!!!

A scale can't accurately measure body fat% or water% and you can look up BMI here on MFP or a hundred other sites.

Consumer Reports rates Taylor #7506 as number 1 and Tanita is good too.

I've had an analog Taylor scale similar to the one below for about 5 years and it works great! I have never had real success with digital, depending on how you shift your weight I have seen 5lb fluctuations if I'm standing straight or leaning this way or that a bit. Could just be me...

I saw this, if you met your goal weight and you don't like how you look in the mirror would you be happy? What if you only lost half of your goal weight and you look excellent. Would you postpone your joy untill you met your goal weight?

The point is, the number doesn't matter, what matters is how you feel and look. Ladies like to be thinner and wear a new bikini or a new dress, or just look sexy. What does this have to do with a number? nothing.

Focusing on your "real" goal. Because like I said your weight can easily change from day to day.

The number DOES MATTER. There is a HUGE difference between 250 and 150 pounds on a 5 foot 6 woman. Stop all this "only measure yourself" nonsense. If someone wants to weigh their body weight, what does it matter to you?

Okay so you rather be150 with 50% bodyfat. compared to 150lbs with 15% bodyfat, makes sense. What does it matter to me, i want people to be successful and happy. What does my post matter to you? You seem emotional you should stop weighing yourself too much, it does cause a lot of mood swings.

LOL No. I am not emotional, I've just seen you putting people down about weighing themselves...first on my friend's page and now here. And I wanted to know why you care if people weigh themselves? I haven't weighed myself in 2 weeks. I just notice that you push your opinions and seem rather closed minded about them. So you are telling me that you do NOT care about the weight? Only the inches? Interesting.

The original poster was not asking your opinion or advice, she was asking for a good scale. I have no advice on that as I hate my scale and need to find an analog one.

From a psychological stand point, people are happy when they get what they want. People weigh themselves for a reason, they "think" it will lead to a goal they have. They might say "i want to way x number of pounds to fit in to this dress." will x number of pounds really lead to you fitting in that dress??!?!?! maybe not. So did you REALLY meet your goal? nope.

As you know, as we all know on here, scales can be very frustrating, sometimes they go up and sometimes down, sometimes they don't move. The human body has too many variables. Yes I agree, if you weigh yourself periodically it's okay. but if you do ti multiple time a week, or weekly... May not sure your true success. There has been many times when people think they're not losing weight, but their waist line is getting smaller.
