Well, I have a scale at home and it's pretty horrible. I go to the doctor and they tell me a different weight, and I come home and it's different. I can never know my actual weight or if I gained or not. Does anyone recommend a really good scale and in some what of a good price range. I don't want to be paying 200 bucks for something to lay of my floor, lol. Any help! Thanks!!!

    I've used this one for a while and it works great. It's within a 1/4lb of doctor.

    I have a cheapy one from Walmart - $20 and it tracks my last weigh-in and my husband's last weigh-in so I know if I'm making progress or not. Keep in mind your weight will likely be different than at the doctor's office if you've got different clothes on (or no clothes on at home). Like someone else said though - just pick a scale and go by THAT one - don't worry what other scales say :)

    Just find one scale and stick with it. Every scale is going to be a bit different, not to mention that weight fluctuates through the day. But if you weigh with the same scale at the same time each day (in the same state of dress) you should get a fairly good idea of which way the weight is going.
    (Weight can also fluctuate over a week. I weigh daily, but only really pay attention to the weekly change, using a set day a week)

    Thanks. This scale is so weird because in one part of my house it says im 8 pounds lighter and the other part it says im over my normal weight by 4 pounds, so I don't know which is accurate. I havent been in the doctor in awhile to even check what I'm close to.
