I have a simple health-o-meter, but i feel it's not very accurate. what kind of bathroom scales do you guys use? i'm looking to buy a new one that isn't too expensive! thanks :)

    a cheap *ss scale! that is only about 3 pounds off from the scale at the gym, which is all fancy and high dollar.

    I think mine is a WW scale. It has the WW logo on it. I'm not sure though. I bought mine at Target I believe.

    mine is a regular scale, but the dial is bigger than normal and it was like 9.97 at wal mart....it's suppose to be right on. i noticed the had a digital one for 11.99 which is what i wanted, but the last one i had, the battery messed up, so i stuck with the regular one.

    I bought a glass, digital Weight Watchers scale at walmart for $10...it is right on with my Doctors...and when I set a 20 lb. dumbell on it, it comes up 20.1 so its pretty accurate :wink:

    Cheap scale at home (see my profile photo with the puppy on it), It's 2-3 lb off from the good one at the gym. I weigh in at the gym once or twice a week and that's the weight I chart- but the bathroom one trends with it.

    I think mine is a Taylor. It's digital and compares to my Doctors office. I had a Health-O-Meter I could cheat on so I got rid of it. I can't cheat on this one. It was only like $25.00.

    We have a weight watcher scale that I got at Costco here in Canada. I think it was around $26 and it weighs to the tenth of a pound. Also can switch to metric, does fat%, water %, bone mass etc.
    I like it because it is big enough for my size-13 feet to fit on it - a problem for me with most other scales.
    These are made by a company called conair. They also have fancier ones that are more money but the cheap one is fine for me.

    I just use a cheap digital Taylor scale that I got at Target - I think it was somewhere between $15-20. I tested a few of my dumbbells on it and they all came up perfectly at 5.0 lbs, 8.0 lbs, 10.0 lbs, etc.
