Which scale to buy?

Hello OH friends,

I have a "biggest loser" scale from Target that I'm pretty sure is totally inaccurate (based on what I weigh here vs. my surgeon's).  What scales have you found that ARE accurate?  I currently *might* weigh 260, which means I *might* have lost 4 lbs so far on my pre-op diet, but I seriously don't trust this scale and would like to fix the problem before my surgery.

Thanks,

Sarah

This is the one I have http://www.oldwillknottscales.com/my-weigh-xl440.html. Its only $50 and has a 30 YEAR warranty to be accurate and work! Ive had mine for 4 years now and never had a problem. Weights the same as the one at my surgeons office to the pound.

Thank you!  What a great site!

Digital scales are typically far more accurate than the old analog scales.  The analog scales have springs in them that "change" over time, unless you have a medical office quality scale. I'd also suggest you check out what batteries may be required.  Older digitals need those nickel sized round batteries, usually two, costing near $10 to replace.  The digital scale I have usses 2 AA batteries.

If you'll just throw away your scales, you'll be much happier. Seriously---I see so many new post-ops making themselves crazy. I didn't own any scales, and weighed only at my doctor's office. So---I never experienced a stall, and I never got freaked out because I gained a pound (which WILL happen, from time to time.)

I just picked one up at Costco and it has everything. Since I have got it, I am much more happier and paying more attention to my eating habbits. I even lost 3 lbs in one week~ and I was off track for a bit, but have since then changed back to the way I used to eat~ much happier here~
