I don't know if it goes up to 350, but I like my brookstone scale.

Thinner--even the name sounds good! They come digital or analog and are priced right. I think they only go up to 330 pounds, though. They also make some that do body fat, but I don't know how they work. I've had my Thinner for 10 years--they don't need battery replacements! I love mine!

I have a Thinner also that measures Body Fat as well. It is great!
Yeah, I'm not sure if it will suit 350... but maybe that will motivate him to lose that first bit of weight befor being able to weight himself. Make him go to the gym to weight himself.

he weighs less than 350 i just wanted to know if there was a scale that went over 300 i figured 350 would be a high enough number that it was possible for a scale to go

I just have a pretty inexpensive one I got at Walmart--I think it goes up to at least 330, possibly 350--I know it goes over 300 because I started out at 310.5. Even though it's just a Walmart scale, it's always been accurate (i.e., when my high-end TOPS group scale says I lost 2 pounds, so does my home scale). It's been accurate and hasn't needed a battery for over a year so far.
