I need help in finding a good weight scale. I dont want to invest my money into one that isnt going to give me good readings. I currently have an old school scale that is NOT digital and I have reciently found that everytime I get onto it, it need to be recalibrated. This is getting irritated.

Does anyone have a suggestion? I also dont want to spend an arm and a leg :)

Thanks,
Amanda

I use a Taylor Lithium Glass top scale.  Its nothing fancy, its digital and I picked it up at WalMart for under $25.  (max weight 350lbs)

They have other more expensive ones, that measure your body fa****er weight, etc.   But like you, I didnt want to spend alot.     I did have to replace it after 3 years....  I went back to WalMart and bought the same exact one.  So far so good.

I have one of them scales like the doctors office has that slides and it reads just a two pounds off my doc and that is because I wear clothes when I get weighed there.

I love mine its very very good they are a bit pricey they are about 200 bucks but well worth the money .

I like the Taylor scales as well. I hated the weight  watchers scale, as it didn't work well. I finally threw it out when it stated that I weighed 32lbs. Ummm don't think so! LOL

I love my taylor scale as well it has been very accurate. The good thing about them is they also have a higher max weight limit. The weigh****cher scale I had once was horrible it was so off that I could step on it three times and come back with three different weights.

I'm another Taylor scale user.  I bought mine at amazon.com for a little over 25.00

id rather not have a scale.. the habit of jumping on it everyday and being dissapointed cause it didnt move from yesterday can be frustrating...  i just eat what im suppossed to..work my ass off in the gym and wait for my visit to the docs to see the results ... makes it more fun waiting for that visit and more rewarding when you see the result a few weeks later..    not every ten minutes
