Hi guys! I finally have enough spare cash to invest in a GOOD scale. The dial one I have always tells me I weigh the same..EVERY SINGLE DAY! I know this is NOT the case LOL. So I need some suggestions on good ones. I live near a Target and a Walmart if that helps..oh and a Bed Bath and Beyond. :)

I'd like to keep my purchase between 20-45 bucks if possible.

Thanks!

    I have a digital one that weighs in half pound increments that I bought at Wal-Mart for less than 20$. It doesn't have all the frills that tells me body fat percentage or that I've gained or lost a pound and it won't keep track of more than one persons progress.

    I like it just fine - it weighs me pretty accurately. I think I obsess enough about half pound increments, don't think I'd want one that weighs in .1 pound increments like some of them do! :tongue:

    I bought me a new scale a couple of weeks ago. Mine was saying that I weighed about 10lbs less than what the doctors office would say. Really a let down when appt times came. Anyways, I went to wal-mart and got a helthometer scale. The cheapest digital one I could find was either 19 or 29 dollars (i looked at so many that day). The one I ended up with was the model HDM560. It is digital with a big display. It will keep track of two peoples weight, and each time you weigh, it tells you the total gain or loss from the time before. I really like it and for the price I don't think I could have gotten a better deal.

    Hope this helps :smile:

    I like my Weight Watchers. It is exactly with my Dr's. & my gym. It weigh's to the .10, has 4 individual settings, shows you how much you need to loose for 10% of you body weight and gives you your BMI. Cost was around $40.00 purchased it at Bed,Bath & Beyond. If you have any coupon's (which everyone has) you can get a discount on it.

    I've got a WeightWatchers scale, it weighs to the nearest .25lb and it matches up with the scale at my Doctors. It also measures your fat%, which can be a help when your weight stayes the same.

    Seems like a majority of you guys all have or suggest the Weight Watchers scales..I was leaning towards that one myself but wanted other suggestions. I hate to be cheap on something like that. My dial scale was like 10 bucks and it shows! :tongue:

    I have a cheapy. it was 8$ at walmart. I balanced a 10lb weight on it when I first got it to make sure it was accurate. Digital ones suck, I wouldn't get a digital. :flowerforyou:
