Hey Everyone!!
What kind of scale do you use to track your weight loss?? I want a really good scale that can work on any floor if that makes sense.
Thanks,

I only use my wii- fit. I have a cheap set of scales but I never use them as they're usually inaccurate.0

Mine is a Weight Watchers-brand scale, but I don't think they make it any more.
As far as "any floor" goes, no scale will be accurate when used on carpet. You need to use it on a hard, solid floor.
To me, the most important feature is that it weighs in .1- or .2-pound increments. Some scales only weigh in half-pound or pound increments and I find that discouraging.0 -
I use a cheapo Wal-mart scale that I've had for years. I've replaced the battery twice, and it still seems to be accurate within a few pounds of the scales in the Dr's office.0

Cheapest walmart scale available. It fluctuates a little bit, but if I test myself 3 or more times it balances out.0

I agree. the .1 and .4 makes a big difference to me! I need to set up my scale properly now. I never have set all the features of it.0 -
I hated the biggest loser scale. It gave me the wrong weight every time. Maybe it was because I got the cheap on, though
I use this one. http://www.amazon.com/Gurin-Precision-Digital-Bathroom-Technology/dp/B006JTNWVK/ref=sr_1_15?ie=UTF8&qid=1340400698&sr=8-15&keywords=digital+bathroom+scale
This one is sensitive to slants in the floor.0 -
I use a Tanita scale. It also measures your body fat percentage.0

I use a Weight Watcher's scale.0

This is the updated version of the WW one I have.

Some crappy WW brand scale that I have to step on multiple times before it gives me the same reading consistently. It will be as off as 10 lbs from the first time compared to, say, the 5th time, and then by the 6th time it'll be consistent.0

I got this one and I absolutely love it! No buttons to push before getting on. Just step on and done! It is so thin and has a wide platform. It stands about 3/4 of an inch high. Sleek and really modern looking with a blue digital display. It weighs to the .2 pounds as well.
Edit: Most scales won't work correctly on a carpeted floor. Not sure why. I've never tried mine on carpet.0 -

Same. I just got it and it is by far the most accurate scale I've owned.0 -

Right now I just have a crappy scale but I'm leaning towards getting the Fitbit Aria Wi-fi Smart Scale for $130. The features & abilities have me sold and it will be great to go with the FitBit wireless tracker I ordered the other day. Need to save a little bit of money for the scale though. http://www.fitbit.com/product/aria0

I use this bad boy: http://www.kmart.com/taylor-scales-silver-digital-body-scale-peb-215n/p-005W791732110001P?prdNo=1&blockNo=1&blockType=G1
I work at Kmart, hence the reason I got it there. I really like it, and it does .2 increment read-outs. It's pretty nice and decently cheap.0
