Howdy folks, Can anyone reccomend a good bathroom scale? Mine is getting kind of flakey and I'd like to get a new one. But I have no desire to spend $70. Looking for a reliable option that doesn't cost an arm and a leg, it doesn't have to be digital. Thanks for the help. I'm new here but not to weight watchers. I started the Winning Points at Home 1.5 years ago and lost 50 pounds in about 12 -13 weeks. I was losing 3 pounds a week, but being a human I strayed and have put most of it on. I just started again yesterday. Good thing is I haven't put it all back on. After finding this newsgroup I will definitely be coming here regularly. Do yall exchange recipes or know a good place for recipes which lists the points? Take care.

All you need in a scale is a consistency and a degree of accuracy.
So step onto all the option three or four times, and discard any that don't give the same reading every time. Of the ones that are left pick any of those scales that read the same within a pound. Which one you choose is probably a matter of economics and taste 🙂 Digital is no more accurate or consistent that analogue. I have a liking for mechanisms like locks and watches so mine is a glass, wood and metal thing where you can see all the workings.
Good luck on getting back on track. You've done it before so you can do it again.
welcome, we do share recipes, and other tips as well, good luck this year, Lee Paul <[email hidden]> wrote in message "]news:[email hidden]...

HI Paul, My husband just bought me a weight watcher scale that is sold from SEars, it does body fat also, and it is the same weight as the one from our meetings. Hope that helps Becky "Paul" <[email hidden]> wrote in message "]news:[email hidden]...

Just a word of advise for anyone with small children looking for a scale. Those ones that measure body fat don't usually work for little people with little feet that don't fit on all the sensors. And that really makes them mad. Mine, anyway! I took mine back, and got a standard dial scale. I do want to get a more accurate one for myself, but for now, the cheap one will do.
Congrats on starting back!!! This is a great place!!! I'm impressed that you lost the weight so quickly last time!! I wish I could. I'm on the year plan! LOL!

Tanita is supposed to be a good brand and accurate to boot. Consumer Reports gave them the best ratings for the scales as far as accuracy goes. You can pick one up for around $30 and they're digital.

Sounds like the one my hubby bought me at Sears. A Tanita. It is really great.

That's so lovely :-) I hope you enjoy your new scales. I'd love to have a Tanita scale but here they're horribly expensive.

They were and if we were using our own money it wouldn't have happened, but since hubby got $350 bonus gift certificate to Sears it more than covered the cost. I should never have purchased the cheap mechanical scale. I could never read the weight and it wasn't accurate enough. Any one want a cheap scale who has good eyesight?
