Hey All! I would like to get a new scale-can anyone please let me know what scale works well for them? Electronic or regular? Big thank you!!! Deb
 
Got a 6 week old set of electronic scales that are working a treat.

Got sick of the inacuracy of the needle type.

But, i'm big so the needle ones tended to be less accurate for me.
 
I had an old electronic scale, more than a decade old, last year when I started going to WW and found mine to be 3.5 lbs heavy. So I bought a new one for about $55 at Kohls and it was accurate to .2 of a lb of the professional grade scales at WW. But after about a year, mine has drifted a bit and now is off by between .5 and 1 lb on the high side. Still one lb off isn't so bad. I wish there was a way to adjust for the drift.
 
We bought the upright ?doctor? style scales a few years back. The kind with the sliding weight. The are very easy to calibrate and I think are in 1/10 pound increments. I think we paid around $250 for them.

WOW! thats ONE serious scale.
 
After my indulgence this week, I'm going to be in line with the semis at the weigh station! :eek: Actually, I just have a cheap scale set on 3 pounds to accommodate for the difference in the doctor's scale.

That is cheating! Zero your scale and make the Doctor adjust his.

WOW, hey Ref, do you need to do a home inspection, and verify the accuracy of that monster scale? :p :p :p
 
I bought what I thought was a decent scale until I got on the doctor's office scale and it was EIGHT (yup, count'em eight) POUNDS HEAVIER :eek: !!! Couldn't have been eight pounds lighter mind you :p ...

I was talking to my mother about it and she said she threw out her old set of scales because they were heavy ;)
