Ok, you tell me....

I'm going to do it. Buy a scale. That's right. A scale. In my home...

So tell me, what one do you have? Do you love it? What are the "must have" features in your opinion? Send me a link too. Cost is no matter - I just want a good one.

Why? Well, I don't fear becoming a scale addict at this point; the scale at my gym is not well calibrated (when I was over 200 lbs, it weighed me 2-3 pounds lighter than my doctor's office; now that I'm under 200 pounds, it's weighing me 2-3 pounds heavier than my doctor's office...).

Thank you in advance!!

DON'T DO IT!!! SCALES ARE EVIL!!!

I have a cheap-o from Target that weighs me 4 pounds less than Dr. Dreamy's.

We paid a whole whopping $5.99 for it so I don't feel bad when I decide to throw it out the window! :)

Im in line with Jill, I have the Walmart $5.97 Special. It weighs me well but is 3 to 4 pounds lighter than my gyms scale. My Sister has a cool Scale that calculates Body fat or something like that it's also digital. I think it would be fun to have a talking scale :)

I have a Tanita which I think is very good. http://www.tanita.com/BodyFat_BodyWater.shtml
They have a lot of different choices of scales and you can choose by what type of options that you want. As far as the body fat % goes though, it is only accurate on that if you are well hydrated which of course makes you weigh more so I weigh once first thing in the morning for weight and at the end of the day for body fat. Confusing enough?

i got the cheapest scales at BB&B and they're just fine. well, you know, except that they say i weigh too much... but, as it turns out, they match my surgeon's scales exactly. here they are: http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product.asp?order_num=-1&SKU=13385432&RN=444

i think it matters not which scales you get as long as you use them exclusively to weigh yourself. go crazy!

I have a Taylor digital scale that I bought from Target years ago. I think I paid about $19.99 and it is exactly one pound less than my surgeon's office.

I, too, have a Taylor from Target bought years ago, but I've been eyeing this one, http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000296N4Q/ref=wl_it_dp/104-5076607-1015111?%5Fencoding=UTF8&colid=5MW7GO55SBTP&coliid=IHJTWSD3OG1KR&v=glance&n=3760901, for a long time. My Taylor is actually higher by a 1/2 pound to my surgeon's.
