spencerh94's Journal, 08 April 2018

Can anyone recommend a really good digital scale? I don't think the one I'm using now is super accurate, even after calibrating. My first weigh in this morning said I had lost almost 10 pounds in the past 24 hours. Got off and on the scale and I was at yesterday's weight. I tried one more time and it said I had gained two pounds. I'll try changing the batteries, but I'm scale hunting in the mean time.
no weigh in for me today 🤷‍♀️

Hey Jimmie, the entire link isn't showing for me. Not on the app, nor the site. Thank you though

Scales are usually accurate within 0.2lbs. Better ones would be glass surface or metal, not plastic it can warp, I’ve tried all 3 and I’ve noticed glass or metal being most accurate as well as stable. About $20 at Walmart

I have had fancy ones and regular ones. I ended up with a glass surfaced one - and sometimes go back and forth between two different ones and just take the average. It's all relative, right? As long as it goes down for me, the nuber is less important.

I've had a lot of scales over the last few years. The best scale, in my opinion, is the Renpho scale. It's normally $99 but it's on sale with Amazon currently for $35. It comes with so many features that I couldn't begin to list them all here. When you have a moment, check it out on Amazon - as well as the reviews. I don't think you'll be disappointed...

I got a $20 glass one from Walmart. Can't remember the name. It has me weighing 5 lbs more than my old plastic scale, but it seems to be close to what I weigh at the doctor's. I'll post the brand when I am home.

I got a Weight Watchers branded glass scale at Costco, and it has worked out great.

Same thing happens to me! If I move my scale to a different room it might be 5 pounds different. So frustrating!

The one I bought at Walmart is called the HealthoMeter. It's tempered glass and will store your weight if you choose to do so, up to two people.

They all lie lol scales are angry objects! I get weighed at the pharmacy twice a month!

Don’t rely on the scale to figure out if u are making progress 😳 yes a scale is a good tool but not the only thing that determines progress 😉

I currently have a glass one. I work at costco, and will probably pick up the weight watchers scale today (another glass one). I know weight isn't the only tool to measure progress, but it's a motivational tool for me and it's helpful.

I have a health-o- meter scale. It is extremely accurate and measures to the ounce so easier to see progress. Plus, it never needs batteries. I believe I bought it at Target. Good luck

@Isaiah I went with the Renpho. So far, I love it!

@SpencerH94... That's awesome! Isn't it cool how it links with the app and you can track all sorts of stats? My younger brother turned me onto the scale and the least that I could do was pass a great recommendation that was given to me, along to someone else. I wish you strength and health! 💪🏽

One last thing, those batteries (the green ones) that the scale comes with are "trial batteries." Be sure to switch those out as-soon-as-possible. They're mentioned in the manual and the section is very easy to overlook that you need to replace the trial batteries - or they could damage the scale as the batteries will begin to leak. ✌🏽

Thanks Isaiah! I did overlook that section! 🙊 I'll be sure to change them out soon!
