Biggest Loser Scale?

Does anybody have one? Do you like it and does it work well? I made my first (impulse!!:blush purchase from QVC last week, and it has already shipped but is not here. It can tell you your lean body mass, and I assume, body fat percentage.

I have regained quite a bit of my lost weight and need a jump start.

I saw that scale. It looked really nice and I hope you like yours. I think a good scale is important. I just have a digital scale I bought from Wal Mart last year. I like it a lot because it is easy to read and seems pretty accurate. I had a hard time reading my old dial type scale.

Enjoy it and good luck on your loss.

Thanks!

I go in cycles where I am OP and do really well, but then when I fall off the wagon, I am hopelessly off for weeks. I know all-or-nothing thinking is not healthy, but it has been my pattern my whole life. But I am picking myself up and dusting myself off again.

My DD graduated last night from HS and all my clothes were too tight.

I don't have it, but I do have the BL digital kitchen scale and I love it. I've had so many and this is by far my favorite. It was only 20.00 and it works great. Measures in oz and grams and has a glass surface that you can remove and easily wash. The digital display is big enough. The scale itself is not huge, but it's perfect size for me. I am the only one that measures around here. My BF just uses his little measuring cups and eyes things.

I have a Tanita that I purchased in 2002, and it still works very well. But does not have the bells and whistles of this new one. I hope this one will be as dependable as the Tanita.

OurLuvs, why do you hate your new one? What kind is it?

its a conair weight watchers scale with body fat % on it..

it has these little metal strips on it, that you put the balls of your feet on.. I can weigh like 4 different weights, 3 diff body fat percents, and I can go to the bathroom (alot of poo and pee sorry tmi) and go back to the scale and weigh 2lbs more! its fusterating!

OK, looked on the QVC website, and this one is made by Taylor. Hope it will be okay.
