What's a good Scale for home use?
I have a 7 yr old electronic model that can range within 4 lbs, when
stepping on it four different times within a minute. Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced one for home use? Larry LC since 6/21/04 293/262.5/190 |

I just got one of the Tanita scales that includes a body fat percentage monitor. I'm having fun with it. Its display reads to 0.2 pounds and 0.5% bodyfat, which is far more precise than is really necessary, but if you are the kind of person who isn't driven insane by daily fluctuations that should not be a problem for you. I don't know what "reasonably priced" means to you - the Tanita scales start at $35-40, I think, which is a bit more than a no-frills scale, but is not stratospheric. -- carla http://geekofalltrades.typepad.com/geek |

There is no real need to get rid of it. 4 lbs is only 1.5% of your bodyweight. If you watch the threads, then you'll know that you're losing. Also, it is not uncommon for weight to bought up and down from day to day. Just try to make sure you only get on it at the same time and under the same conditions, (eg., in the am before eating but after taking a dump, etc.). |

I bought the scale at this link:
http://tinyurl.com/2rslp I found it to be very accurate. It reads to the 10th of a pound. I love it. "Larry S" wrote in message ...

Not sure what you mean by reasonable. I have a Taylor digital scale. Most of the time it never fluctuates between multiple readings, and at most, it only fluctuates half a pound. I think it cost about $35-40. -- LCing since 7/10/04 - 6'3" 230/220/190 Why does your nose run and your feet smell? |

Oooh, I want a scale that measures body fat! I have no clue what I'm at, so this would be a good investment. Where do you find Tanita scales?
