Scales
Just curious I have a scenario going.. I bought a brand new analog scale.. and health-o-meter digital scale.. I' m curious to which to use to be accurate as my doctor's digital scale and counter weight scale.. anyways.. when I went to my doc's I weight 264lbs, the digital health-o-meter says 295lb,and the analog says 268lbs.. I thought digital are suppose to be accurate I was told by a friend a Wal-mart that people return busted scales all the time and they just tape the boxes and put them right back on the shelf, she said the health-o-meters are the most returned to the store.. I think the analog would be my best bet.. curious to what everyone else uses?
From the looks of it the analog seem to be the closets to me. Keep doing them both and see what you come up with down the line or just return the one with that 30lb difference!!
I have a Health OMeter scale too and it is not acurate and weighs me anywhere from 4 to 9 pounds over what my doctors scale weighs me. I found that the weigh****chers glass scale is the best and weighs me right on with the doctors scale I also have a taylor digital scale. (you see what is going on here-- scale obsession) I own 4 scales because i was in search of one that would actually weigh me exactly like the doctors scale. So far it has been the WW scale.
Hope this helps!
I don't even own a scale--I just use Wii Fit to keep track of my weight. I only check once a week at the same time of day so I don't drive myself crazy with fluctuations. It's usually about 3 pounds less than what the scales at my support group weighs.
The analog scale I stepped on at a local grocery store was spot on with the Wii Fit, though!

Although that scale you bought was bananas, I think it's important to pick a scale and stick with it. I bought a scale at target a week before surgery and that is the only scale I really look at to track my weight loss. The drs office, the surgeon's office and the 2 scales at work all put me within a 5 lb range. But I also weigh myself at the same time in the same outfit (hubby's t-shirt and underwear;). So I know it is accurate since it is always the same condition. Good luck! Hope the Biggest Loser scale is bette!
