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!

    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. Good luck.
