Anyone recommend accurate weigh scales?

[emma-louise]

And not too expensive..lol

I've got some basic weight watchers ones with digital display..and they do my head in!!
I have to move about on the floor as it gives out different reads..help!

There are some great salters ones for sale in Asda - ten pounds - I bought some

Oh and, NSV - I didn't have to check to see if they would be suitable for weighing a baby elephant

Are the salter ones accurate yve?
Have u ever seen if they are accurate enough against being weighed on a boots machine or hospital?
Don't want to waste Money in some misleading ones again..are you feeling a little bit better today?

These ones are seem to be very accurate - identical reading six times. All scales will vary a little so I don't worry about that as I track change and stick to one set of scales. But these seem very reliable and do body fat/water/BMI as well.
Blooming cheap too.

Feeling kind of better.

Salter digital ones are great! Like Yve says just track on one set x

I brought some salter ones from argos after seeing a thread on here about them, they cost me £39.99 and are no good for me... You have to stay perfectly still to get an accurate reading which I can't seem to do and it flickers between a whole stone But I have a pair of weight watchers ones which I swear by there exactly the same as when I go to be weighed with the dietician

Salter do a super accurate set they have 25% off currently in Argos

these ones were recommended to me, and they weigh very accurately down to 1/8ths of a lb! But also really accurate as they have matched the scales when I've been weighed when I've gone for my follow up fills etc

Maybe for some. But for others they can be a huge inspirational tool and I know that without the regular weekly weigh in that I do, that I wouldn't have that way of tracking or motivating myself either

I spent the last year denying that scales exsisted. Then when I realised that even the clothes I had were getting tight I finally stepped on the scales again I was horrified that I had put on a stone.
If - when- I get to my target weight I will have to weigh myself regularly as I can obviously deceive myself. I never want to put on that much without being aware of it.

At the moment I think I need to wait myself once a week to make sure I am heading in the right direction.

As is often said on this site, everyone has different ways of dealing with things. The important thing is that we find a good way for us.

I wouldn't be without mine. Denial is not good for my weight!

 

[emma-louise]

I'm afraid I did do exactly that 'ditched the scales' and it cost me 10lbs of gained weight.
I don't want to bury my head in the sand...

I'm with Kat. I don't weight obsessively, once a week, routine as clockwork. And if its not great news, I assess what I'm doing and if its just my pattern I keep going. If there's more to it that gives me the opportunity to assess where I'mg oing wrong and what I need to change.
