Does anyone have a scale they would recommend? I think I need a new one.

Garmin Index scale. High price but worth it.

If you have a Fitbit, the Aria scale would make sense. I like the Nokia (used to be Withings) body analyzer scale. I might consider the Garmin if I needed a new scale now because I wear a Garmin Vivoactive. It depends on what ecosystem you're already invested in.

I have the Withing ( now Nokia) . $$$ but I really like it. Very repeatable, very consistent. Works on floor or carpet.

We have this as well and love it. Sends data directly to your phone and to my fitness pal. Alerts you when the battery is low. Just be careful of the button on the back that lets you switch between stone pounds, pounds and kilograms. Sometimes when you move the scale you hit that accidentally. Had it for about 18 months now and I think we just changed the batteries for the first time.

Keep on losing!

I love my YUNMAI smart scale. Super accurate. It always matches with my doctors scale. I believe it was $40 on Amazon. It also connects to an IPhone app via Bluetooth. So it automatically logs your daily weight, BMI, and other things. It also puts it all into a nifty graph. I looove it. Another plus is that it can sync with your health tracker that automatically comes with your iPhone. I highly recommend.

I find my yunmai very accurate for weight as well. The body fat sensors are a joke though, they just use normal bmi formula based on height and weight.

Yeah, I don't use it for the other things like body fa****er weight, etc. Although, I do like looking at the body fat graph just for fun. It's innacurate buts it's a down ward trend, so it makes a nice little self esteem booster. Haha

I use an old fashioned Detecto balance beam scale (and love it). It is pricy though (about $150 when I bought it).
