I see people's postings all the time that appear to be in 10th of pounds. Where do you get this kind of scale? I have a scale that weighs in 1/2 lb increments, and i've seen them in .2 increments. I want one that is in .1 increments!! I need to see ounces.......

    I got mine from Walmart too, it's a Taylor. It weighs in .2 increments (but I bought it about a year ago, they may have them in .1 increments now...) I don't remember how much it was exactly, but it was about $30-40. It also tracks how much you weigh and how many pounds you need to lose to get to your goal weight. It has a lot of other bells and whistles on it too.. I love it! You can also put up to 4 other users stats on there as well! But Walmart is probably your best bet to find a scale like that for a good price.

    Why would you want a .1 lb increment scale? The 10th of a lb lost or gained is most likely water weight...

    why? I'm obsessing about less than 1 lb weight loss. Last week....according to my calorie counting I should have lost .4 lbs. but I don't see it on the scale. i know its crazy.

    Ditto Walmart $20.00 weighs by the ounce and we use it for our biggest loser weigh ins at work. I will get the brand and model for you. BRB.

    Do you have a Wii Fit? When it weighs you it tells you "you have lost 0.2lbs since your last visit" and then keeps track of it on a nifty little chart.
    It's pretty neat to see my weight fluctuation from day to day

    I hate, hate, hate those 10ths of a pound- I actually prefer a rounded off number. I always round down. :wink:

    Wii Fit has a built in scale? That's pretty nifty. How accurate is it?

    Yep! I find it to be pretty accurate. They even take into consideration how heavy your clothes are :)
