Can you recommend decent bathroom scales for over 300?

I know I should,'t really think about weighing myself every day, and I haven't been while I haven't been dieting...that's for sure. But as I get serious about weight-loss, the incentive of seeing the scale number diminish is just too delicious. But reasonably priced digital scales can fluctuate up to 2-3 pounds every time you get on them and that can be frustrating. Does anyone who is over 300 have a scale they would recommend that is fairly accurate and doesn't cost an arm and a leg? Thanks!

I have a Weigh****chers digital scale and it goes up 350 lbs. It is reasonably accurate although as with all digital scales I have to make sure it's on a flat surface or the numbers are wrong, lol I had one day where I thought I lost like 5 lbs due to a uneven floor. Whenever I weigh myself and then go see Toder it's right on with what her scale says, off a little by what the nutritionist says but even they will tell you their scale adds a few pounds from what Dr. Toder says (or any other Northeast surgeons for that matter since they all share an office). As far as cost, I have no idea, sorry. We have had it for years and I think my mom bought it so I have no idea what she paid. You can probably find them on the weigh****chers website. I have an obsession with weighing myself every day, I think it keeps me in check, it's either okay I lost weight keep up the good work or okay I didn't lose weight so I need to step it up today. I really think having an idea of your weight helps with the whole process. Goodluck on finding a scale!

Thanks! Is yours made by Conair or one of the other versions of WW scales? There seem to be several versions...

I bought an inexpensive - at least relatively inexpensive Tanita scale - it cost around 40.00 and it weighs over 300lbs.

Terry, I just bought my WW scale at Walmart and got weighed at my nut and then got on my new one the next day and it was the same thing.  I love it.  I have to say, compared to my last scale where I could gain or loose up to 11 lbs a day, talk about frustrating. hehe  they say its not good to weigh in every day, but when i'm working so hard I need some reinforcements.  Hope all is well, I am freezing and just took a 3 hour nap, I NEVER do that.... gotta get some chores done around here, got a support group tonight, brrrrrrr

I was just looking online and there are several different versions of the WW scale. Do you have the one made by Conair?
