Does anyone a good scale I can buy?
I bought a digital but, it never seemed to work right, then I bought a regular one and it gives me vastly different readings in one day! Im not big into weighing myself but its nice to know once in a while, thanks!

    I bought this one. One of the biggest reasons I bought it was the weight limit. I didn't initially fit onto a lot of scales... well hell I still don't but gimme some time!

    This one is digital, has a large print out reading and always gives me the same reading if I step onto it two times in a row. :)

    It also seems to be fairly consistent... given like if I weigh myself here and then get weighed at the doctors office or at work for the biggest loser competition, it seems to be fitting what it "should"

    I have the same one cnsmith2 has. I bought it because it goes over 300lbs. So far, it has been great...extremely consistent. I used to have different scale that also did fat percentage but it was never consistent. You'd get a different number every time you jump on it (like within seconds).

    Just make sure you put the scale on a good solid even surface.

    As long as the scale is on a flat surface, the digital scale should be fairly consistent. I had a reg scale when i first started and when i weighed in at my trainers office, i was 7lbs heavier. I went home and weighed myself again and my "regular" scale was off by 7lbs. crazy.. so i wouldn't rely on a "regular" scale. Definitely get a good digital one. I think I spent about $30 on mine.

    I was actually just about to recommend that *exact* same scale. It's been my favorite so far, and very easily the most consistent scale I've ever used.

    I'm also a big fan of the fact that it's wider than most (so easy to step on and balance, which is what causes some scales to be inconsistent since you aren't as balanced), but it's also very simple and nice looking.

    I think it's well worth what I paid for it. :)

    I bought some new digital scales yesterday. I was so disappointed when I got on them. I weigh 7 pounds more on them than my regular scale. Anyway, I adjusted my original starting weight on MFP to make it easier to track. I know I have not gained 7 pounds in the last week but for some reason, I had a moment of feeling whipped but I got a grip and know I have still lost 5 pounds. I think the key to any scale is a flat level surface and once you put the scale in a certain location, don't move it around because it does affect the accuracy.

    I have the EatSmart one as well and really like it. I bought mine through Amazon.

    This is my scale: http://www.withings.com/en/bodyscale

    It's a digital scale that also has Wi-Fi and broadcasts my weight/body fat % to a dashboard for me to review. I have the option of sharing that information with other users if I like, and my scale is intelligent enough to recognize different users by weight. I love it! Bought it at the Apple Store
