what scale do you prefer?
| Sun, 08-14-2005 - 6:12pm |
I know several people are going to think to themselves that weight isn't as important as how your clothes feel....I however am a "numbers" first kind of person. I really would love to buy a scale but have had rotton luck with getting an accurate one. I hate to spend so much money without a few good recomendations...
Thank you!!!

Hi,
I use one I bought at Wal-Mart for under $40 and I like it. It's a Conair brand but made in conjunction with Weight Watchers. It's digital and goes to tenths of a pound. As for being accurate, it's great up to 320 lbs. It has always been right in line with the scale at my doctor's office and the one at curves. I did go off the deep end and get bigger than 320 for a time and it wasn't accurate then. Also, you have to turn it on and then step on it the right way and hold still to get the accurate reading but after the first few times, it becomes second nature.
If I could have any one I wanted I'd probably get one of the upright ones that you slide the counter weight back and forth on because I love the reinforcement I feel when I can slide the weights to the left (showing a loss) to get the needle to balance in the middle.
Ultimately that's what I need, a scale that shows me how I'm doing compared to my own previous weights.
HTH,
M.
