Default Scale question...

I'm in the market for a new scale? Suggestions?
Also, how do those scales work that you just hold in your hands? Are they accurate?

there's a scale that you hold in your hand? whoa! i want that!

i have a tanita scale i got from target. it has body fat percentage and body water percentage. i like it, even though if i lean differently it gives me different weights so i weight three times in a row and see which number comes out 2 out of 3

I think the ones you hold in your hands are just body fat analyzers.

This one I have been reading about says it weighs you and analyzes body fat.

I totally need to invest in a new scale too. Mine is like a $5 from Ikea and I only use it as a rough estimate. For my "official" weight I use the scale at the gym. :P I'll be interested to hear which scale all of you recommend.

It's funny, I'm reading the reviews for it and they're AWFUL....but I didn't have any problems at all. You just have to keep it clean and store it flat.

I used the Wii Fit Balance Board as my scale and it's accurate and I like the graph too from the weigh ins.
