Recommendations: Best digital bathroom scale - Go!!

I've been using this one for the last two months and I love it. It sends data to your smartphone (but does not link with MFP), but it's cheaper than some of them out there.

I’ve heard good things about the Withings WiFi scales.... I currently have a cheap one I bought at Aldi and it’s reliable, but when it dies I’m going to get a Withings

Literally just got this in the mail today and used it. It was pretty cheap and seems fine for weight. It gives a bunch of other stats. It is nice looking. The app is ugly as all get out though

When I looked at thsta gew months back,the Google play store ratings for the aop were pretty bad

Step on it once.

There is no reason to keep on and off-ing. Unless you are checking to see if you need to replace the batteries.
The number you get is a point in time. Make note of it, log it in a trending ap if you wish, and move on.

It is the daily fluctuations trending downward over time that matters.

I just use a generic scale and it has served me well losing and maintaining.

Cheers, h.

Hello,

My scale is crap. If I step on and off three times, I get three different readings. Normally within about a pound of each other. Problem is...I'm a numbers guy; I really value accuracy. What are your recommendations?

Also, please feel free to friend me. I'm always looking for people to encourage and encourage me on my fitness journey.

In this case, accuracy is over rated. What you want (and don't seem to have) is consistency. To trust the scale it should give you close to the same reading when you step off and back on, assuming you didn't move it (or poop in between). Be warned that some scales force this and will show the last weight if there is only a small change. My last one did this and needed more than ~3/4 lb change before it would show a different reading (that's more frustrating to me).

I picked up a Withings (now Nokia) scale in a clearance bin and like it. I step on it first thing after the bathroom and all my sites are updated by the time I sit down (and my scale is in the same room as my computer). One day when I'm bored I'll look at the API and get the data into Excel automatically

Not cheap though and the one linked to above looks interesting for the price.

I love my bluetooth weight gurus scale.

The app is ugly but it did log my weight and sent the data to my iPhone health app so I will have the info saved. I don’t trust any read outs from any digital scale such as fat percentage, water percentage, etc since logically a scale couldn’t calculate such things based on weight alone. But for logging my weight it seems fine and it’s a sleek looking scale. I tested it against my old scale and the weight was the same for both. I also only paid around 20 for it.

I also have the Weight Guru Bluetooth scale. It’s within half a pound of the Taylor I used for about 17 years. The app is nothing to write home about but it logs my weight to both MFP and FitBit. Kind of wish I’d gone WiFi because sometimes I’m still half asleep and you have to remember your phone and remember to open up the app for it to log. It does store the number though and will record it next time along with the new number.
