I'm thinking about buying a scales to weigh mesylf on. What kind do you have? I'm looking for something that's accurate and not sure about the dial type or the digital? Any suggestions? Thanks.

well when i first had surgery i had a digital scale that i loved because it always weighed exact to the scale at my surgeons office.
HOWEVER, that died last summer. SO i went to walmart.
THE first digital scale i bought made me mad. FEW times i got on it would read error then finally get a number after few attempts. NOT for me, besides i think it was like 7 lbs higher then my other scale.
SO i returned that one to walmart and got the weight watchers brand scale and im pleased with it. STILL weighs me equal to my sugeons and
i can get on it repeatidly and still weigh the same number.
I had my MONTHS that i obsessed with the scale and now for my own sanity and good moods i cant go on it but weekly.
HOPE that helps
good luck
but the price was right on this at walmart.

I find it quite amusing that my scale is called THINNER..........lol. It is digital.

I bought it back in 2003 or 2004, and it still works well. I get on it twice and it usually weighs within a half pound or pound difference. I of course, take the lower weight.

It has a lifetime battery, too. I like it. S

I don't own a scale. I can't. The past couple times I have gone to my IL's I have gotten on the scale there and I don't like what I see. If I had one here I would be on it all the time. I don't want to get stuck on a number. I am hard enough on myself, I don't need that to be added to the things I beat myself up over.

LOL! One that always underweighs me and then I invariably exclaim, "but that's just not possible!" when I weigh in at the doc's.
