  • Accurate scale?

    HI. I want to buy a new scale to monitor my progress. It seems like I always get ones that don't work right. Does any one have any suggestions for me? Thanks Jenn

      I know I PMed you that I hate them, and I think that I would really hate those that measure to a 10th of a pound. But, mine is a digital and while its evil and hates me and pounces around, its okay.

        I have a digital one as well I bought it at walmart it's always within 1 pound of the doctors scale so I would say that's pretty good for a cheapy.

          I don't own one, I use the public one at the pool, or the one at the pharmacy which gives a printout. I am sure I'd get wiggy having scales in the house.

            A long time ago I decided I would buy a genuine medical scale, you know the kind the doctors have. It's a lot of money, but it's well worth it. I get a very accurate weigh each time, and I don't have to put my glasses on to see what the scale says
