    Default help me buy a scale right now

    I am at bed and bath and buying a scale. I always thought MD scales only reliable ones. Now not sure. Any advice?

    Ours is very similar to this and seems to be fine:

    It agrees with scales at my gym, peds office, my doctors office, etc.

    I think most digital ones are pretty accurate. What about a Weight Watchers scales -- IIRC, Conair makes them.

    I would get whatever digital scale you like esthetically. I would NOT get a body fat one, I have heard that they are not accurate.

    I have a Tanita scale based on good reviews I read a couple of years ago.

    I am thinking now
    of grief, and of getting past it;
    I feel my boots
    trying to leave the ground,
    I feel my heart
    pumping hard. I want
    to think again of dangerous and noble things.
    I want to be light and frolicsome.
    I want to be improbable beautiful and afraid of nothing,
    as though I had wings.
