What is the most accurate scale to weigh yourself on? I have looked on-line a bit but I trust MFP'ers more :happy:

I need the same advice. I need a new scale badly, and want a good one, but one that isnt overly priced.0

my wife bought us the biggest loser scale and it's pretty accurate.0

So glad you asked this. I need one too.0

I'm looking forward to the replies on this one myself. For now, I'm using my Wii balance board along with Wii Fitness Plus.0

I have an analog scale so it's not suuuuuuper exact...but it works for me! And it's consistent with my mom's analog scale as well.
I don't know what brand it is. It was like, $19.99 at Walmart.0 -

I also use my Wii balance board and fitness plus too. It's nice other than being a little time consuming for just a quick weigh in0 -
I have a Taylor brand digital scale (it's clear/see-through, from Bed Bath & Beyond) and it's not bad, it measures to the 0.2-pound and seems to be reasonably consistent. From everything I've heard and read though, bathroom scales have a limited degree of accuracy and reliability. The scales in doctors' offices and some gyms are far more accurate and reliable. (I weigh in at the gym every time I go, but it's different than my early-morning weigh-in at home for a number of reasons.)
EDIT: I just went and looked at my scale and it's actually a Homemedics brand, not Taylor. (My food scale in the kitchen is Taylor. Oops - sorry!) But I love both of them0 -
Alrighty so from what I have gathered I should check out Taylor and Biggest Loser...any others? Where can digital accurate (yet thrifty ) scales be found?0

I like the WW digital scale and if you have a Kmart near you they are on sale right now for 18.99 normaly 29.99. My mom has had one for awhile and I check my weight while at her house lol but I am planning to pick one up for her on Friday after I cash my check.0

I wish I had the answer. I even have a friend who's lost nearly 100 lbs, and she's never been able to find the perfect scale. She's broken so many, too. Unfortunately, to get super accurate requires a lot of money. But you can get by with the less expensive ones. They just may fluctuate a bit and not be 100% accurate. They'll be close enough, though.0

Awesome scale, awesome company. Very consistent, easy to read, and accurate. 0.2 lbs different from my doctor's office.0 -

I just checked Kmart's website...they have a WW 4-user track scale on sale for $20.99 that was originally $25.99. Is that the one?0 -

Mine came very quickly. But I definitelyunderstand the hurry. You want to be able to track your progress. And like you, I read a lot of reviews but now I could be one.0 -
I have had the Tanita BC-533 for five or so years now. It is very reliable and accurate. It also does body composition, bone mass, and visceral fat measurements.
http://www.amazon.com/Tanita-BC533-Innerscan-Composition-Monitor/dp/B0007Y6BS4/ref=sr_1_3?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1311212336&sr=1-3
I take the body fat % with a grain of salt, but it is good for seeing trends. I used to be around 38% body fat, now I'm around 26% (This is over the course of several years).
It is a little pricey, but worth the investment as I've had no problems with the scale for many years.0 -

I second this scale: Eatsmart Precision Plus Digital Bathroom Scale with Ultra Wide Platform and Step-on Technology, 440-Pounds.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0032TNPOE
This scale was within 10ths of the scale at the Doctor's office and the readings are very consistent. I have been weighing virtually everyday since receiving this scale in December 2010.0 -

I have the same one and its great!!0 -
