Which scale is most accurate?
Seems like several peeps have WW scales. . . .okay, so, multiple votes for a WW scale so far.
Thanks!

I use a Tanita scale, it's very close to what I weigh at my PCP's office (.5 lb difference).
It really doesn't matter as long you are stay consistant on one scale or if you think the scale will be too much of a head trip just weigh at your surgeon's office.

Ooohhhh I forgot about Tanita. I used to have one of those a long time ago!
Nah, I don't get all crazy over weighing, I just want the scale to be accurate lol. If I lived closer to my surgeon I would just go get weighed there, but he is an hour and a half away from me and I don't go back till September. Now THAT would drive me crazy, not weighing between now and then lol.
Okay, so now I can go look at WW and Tanita scales, cool, thanks!

I've been on the hunt for the best scale myself and recetly came across Eatsmart Precision Plus Digital Bathroom Scale with Ultra Wide Platform. It can be ordered on Amazon and is running 36.95 with free shipping. The company stand behind all of their scales and has even personally contacted amazon users who had a "bad" scale whether they returned it or not and sent them one for free.
Oh wow, cool, thanks for the info! I will take a look at that one too

I used a cheap scale from walmart. It seems to accurately record my weight loss when I used it at the same time everyday. (I use it in the a.m after i pee and before my shower)
The only thing is...When I go to the drs ofc i either way more (if its a late in the day appt because i've eaten..etc) or i weigh less (if i go first thing in the morning) than my scale at home.
Im usually within a 5lbs range though when compared to my dr's scale so in my opinion its accurate enough lol

I have an actual large old-fashioned sliding weight physician's scale in my breakfast area and then I also bought a digital Escali scale off of Amazon that currently sells for about $40. It has the heavy glass top (round) and is very attractive. It also measures body fat % and hydration level. It is very accurate as far as weight (it matches the large scale downstairs almost exactly every time) and pretty accurate as far as body fat (it has been within 1% both times I have had my body fat % measured through the hospital). I cannot speak to the accuracy of the hydration calculation, t since the other items are so accurate, I would imagine that it is at least reasonably accurate as well.
