Please don't laugh and don't take this the wrong way but... check out a
local veterinarians office. They sometimes have to way larger animals such
as sheep and cattle and horses and so forth.....
Some actually have the scales on the ground level for that purpose.
Another thing someone mentioned is getting two cheaper scales with good
sized foot areas and putting a board across them both and standing on the
board. I don't know if this works but it does make sense and you'd only
have to do a little bit of addition.... "

And this 600+ pound monstrosity uses a BULK MAIL weigher:

I am 640 lbs (and shrinking...slowly but surely) and needed a way to track
my progress, so I called my local post office. The person I spoke with told
me they would be happy to help and accomodate me. They made arrangements
for me to come in once a week at my convenience and use the scale in the
bulk mail department. It is located right by the rear entrance, so I can
get in and out quickly without drawing any un-wanted extra attention, and
the scale is flat to the ground as they wheel carts on and off it all day.
At first I felt very awkward, but I see the same 2 people there every week,
and they're very friendly, and actually quite supportive. When I go to step
onto the scale, they seem to go out of their way to make it clear they're
looking the other way, so as not to make me feel like they're looking to
see what I weigh. I understand all too well if anyone would be horrified by
the thought of doing this, as I surely was when I began, but it has worked
out well for me, so I wanted to share it with those of you in the same boat
as I am. "

Yep, seems normal! Ugh.

Ridicule of fat people is never acceptable.
Those who insist on doing this are living
