What kind of scale do you have?
 
To weigh yourself, that is!

I'm using a crappy analog scale that my hubby has in his bathroom and I'm thinking it's fairly innacurate because it's overweighing my toddler by 5lbs and I really have no idea how much I weigh at this point :dizzy:. Mine died a few months ago because the bathroom flooded and it shorted out.

I'll keep the new one in the pantry ;).

I'm looking for a good digital scale that's accurate to less than a pound (.2 maybe?) and will give me a water and body fat reading!

TIA!

Is the one I had before... I may just get another :).

I have this one, I don't know that I trust the body fat and hydration, sometimes I feel like it gives me the same weight several times in a row. That being said, I like the scale a lot. I like the remote display and the programming feature.

The one you bookmarked looks good, too - seems like it will do the same thing mine will do.

Mine is digital but it doesn't do BF%, I don't trust them on that. Mine is a WW one I believe. I like it pretty well. It never gives stupid varying numbers like my old one did. I can step on it 10 times in a row and it'll give me the same number each time.

I don't have one - I would be obsessed. I weigh at the gym where they have a balance scale

I have an analog dial scale. It is goosey and goofy and I don't know that it is horribly accurate. But I am just using it for a guide, not an absolute as to my progress. And it is what I have, for now. I would like to get a digital when my budget loosens up a bit. :D

I have some generic scale I bought at Meijers or somewhere. It works for me. Am I exactly the weight the scale says? Who the heck knows! But it is consistent and that works for me.

I bought a new one when I joined this site the other day... I had an old dial scale which I couldn't even read which was frustrating... how would I do the 5 lb challenges??? ;)

It's a conair Weight Watcher with BMI, etc. I searched but couldn't find it... ok finally found it but only paid $35 at Target... it was on sale.

I seems to work very well and is accurate.

Thanks for all the info everyone. I need to get a new scale! : )

ValRock 10-05-2008 03:40 PM

Great info! I think I'm going to suck it up and go buy one today. I'm scared to see how much I really weigh, though! I'll cry if it's above my estimate.
