What kind of bathroom scales do you have?

Brand? Model?
What do you like about it? Hate about it?

My scale does not do 10ths just whole pounds so I'm considering purchasing a new one.

I have a Weight Watchers digital scale. It weighs in tenths and I highly recommend one that does (helps to see every little bit of progress to keep your head in the game). I'm not crazy about my scale as I can step on it several times within minutes and get readings up to 2 lbs. difference! I would love to find one more accurate.

I also had a weight watcher scale I bought at Target and it did the same thing. I hated that scale and threw it out. Was a big waste of money. I now have a Taylor scale I bought there a few weeks ago and love it. It is always the same weight and never varies. It measures in tenths. Hope that helps.

My digital scale various and I am never sure they are right but now I place a dumbell on the scale to check that it is right then hop on, that more or less keeps me right.

I have the WW scale in the photo below (they have a variety of models) and I always step on it till I get the same wt twice, usually it takes only two times to get the same wt each time. I like it a lot and that it weighs in tenths of a pound. It also does the fancier measurements, but I haven't bothered since the first time.

A Taylor glass-top digital scale that I got at Costco. I like it... it seems accurate to other digital scales I've used and it gives consistent readings.

That is the same one that I have it works good.

I have an older Taylor Digital scale, which is supposed to measure body fat, water weight etc. It can be flaky. Some days it works great and others I have to weigh myself 5x to get a consistent number.

I just bought a Taylor digital scale last week at Target and it is great. Always consistent. I had always used scales that didnt have oz...this is much better.

I have a Taylor digital scale (with body fat) and I hate it. It seems to memorize numbers. I will often just take the battery out and put it back in to see if it's changed it's mind...sure enough it is usually different.

I wonder if the scales that are a bit flaky might be from a low battery. I bought my WW scale only a few months ago and if I stand on it in the same place each time I get the same reading.

I changed the battery because I thought that might be the case, still flakey.

Thank you so much for the feedback!

I ended up ordering - "EatSmart™ Precision Digital Bathroom Scale w/ Extra Large Backlit 3.5" Display and "Step-On" Technology" - It had really good reviews and was under $30 shipped.

I also ordered MyoTape body Tape Measure.

HHCG Drops are on order too!

Hoping to start my first load Thanksgiving Day.
