I want to buy a new scale and I thought Id ask the experts on what you have and like.
Many thanks from a potentially big looser.

I have a Take Shape For Life scale and I love it. Well, actually right now I hate it, but only because it hasn't been moving down for 9 days. ;)

I have a Pelouze 4040, a very expensive scale (just HAD to have it because it was the one they were using & raving about at the WW meeting I was attending). I don't like it much as it only weighs in .5 increments and I want to see all those numbers between .0 to .5 to .0 again ;)......but it works fine still (darn it) and I'm stuck with it until it quits working.

I didn't know there was a TSFL scale, Donica. Hmmmm. Nope, I don't need a new scale......nope, don't need a new scale........nope, don't even think about a new scale.........

I have a WW scale I got from Walmart for under $40 - it was recommended to me here, actually - and I really like it. I've never had a scale that weighs tenths of a pound before and I love that - plus it seems to be more accurate than even more expensive scales I've had in the past with bodyfat % and all those other bells and whistles.

Back in the days when I was over 400 lbs I needed a scale that would weigh me...... so we bought a Takita digital scale that weighed up to 600 lbs. It works great and weighs at .2 lb increments.

I use a Taylor lithium scale. Only measures to the half pound which is enough for me to obsess on...

I use a Health-o-meter digital scale with the body fat and water readings (which aren't accurate in the least). I paid $60 for it at Target if I remember right, it weighs in increments of .2 and the weight is dead on when compared to the scales at the doctor's offices.

I have Tony Little's scale which weights your body weight, water and body fat. It stinks don't waste your money on that one.
