I need some scale help please!
 
I need to find a good, honest, reliable scale..... but after searching today all I've found are scales that don't even go up to 300. :(

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Hi Fluffy!

I invested in a doctor's scale - THe kind in the doctor's office - it set me back quite a bit but I think it will last forever - it goes up to 350 pounds -

I found it on-line -

My scale is a WW scale from walmart and goes up to 330...hope that helps :)

My scale is a WW's as well. I bought it at Linens and Things. It goes to 380. It's $49.95 on their website and there's always a coupon in your paper if you actually have the stores near you.

Bed, Bath and Beyond also carries a nice WW scale. Same 380 pounds. It's $59.95 on their website. And again, always coupons available if you have the store locally.

Hope that helps.

My scale goes up to 400lbs. I got it for under $50 on Amazon. Link through this site, and it helps support the site. When I was over 400, I used 2-3 matching bathroom scales with a piece of plywood connecting them. Just add up each scale for a total. It is surprisingly accurate. Scales with springs lose their boing faster the more they are compressed. Splitting my weight between several scales made them last longer.

Thanks for the tips everyone!
I like that idea Catherine! I'm going to get 2 cheapo scales and a piece of wood until I can find a really good one!:D

Thanks!!

Hi Fluffy,
I bought my scale off of eBay. I'll hunt the address up for you.

Okay, I'm back! :) If you go to www.OLDWILLKNOTT.com it will take you to his page. The scales are by My Weigh and they can talk (or not ;) ) I am on the page and there are 2 different scales that I see. One goes to 440 lbs. for $49.50, and the other one goes to 550 lbs. for $59.90. I have the one that goes to 440 lbs. and I have no complaints with it so far. They're digital scales. I don't know about shipping and handling, but I remember that it was pretty reasonable--PLUS--it comes right to your house which is a big plus. :D Good luck.

Vicki
