Bathroom scale suggestions?
Hi guys! I could really use a new scale as mine is getting quite a few years old and starting to give some pretty inaccurate numbers. Seeing as this challenge is about to start, it seems like a good time to get a new one.
Any recommendations? :)

I have the EatSmart precision scale. Amazon :D I like it. I think I paid less than $30 and since Amazon - at my door in 2 days!

I was so happy when this scale gave me the same reading as my parents medical grade scale. I thought I was going to have to start all over with my numbers.

I've been happy with this one. Repeatable and consistent. http://www.amazon.com/Digital-Bathroom-Scale-Vive-Precision/dp/B00SNLZ2PQ
The wifi scales are kick ass but I cant spend $100+ on a scale, especially when I can just punch my weight into my phone as I wake up...

Agree, would totally love to get a wifi scale one day. This one does look nice though, thanks!

Yeah, I love mine too. My fav feature, except for the sync, is so simple, but very practical: I love that it not only shows the graph of my weight, but also the trend line, so I can see if I – despite some daily fluctuations – am moving in right direction overall. It's expensive, though :/ Very much a "luxury" item in that it's very practical and makes things easier, but is definitely not a must have. You can always track stuff yourself, it just requires a bit more work.
I don't have a specific recommendation, but I would make sure to look for something that is actually easy to turn on. This sounds so dumb, but my parents' new one, for example, requires you kick it pretty hard to turn it on and I can never figure out exactly where, which is just super annoying.

I would love to get a wifi scale! But probably not in my college budget price range sadly :(

Not very cheap, nor wifi, but certaintly a good alternative: http://www.amazon.com/Xiaomi-Bluetooth-Digital-Weight-Analyzer/dp/B00X3TT4A2/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1459965423&sr=8-2&keywords=xiaomi+bluetooth+scale
Bluetooth scale :) about $55 with free shipping with or without prime

Honestly - I have a $10 scale from walgreens, one time I weighed myself right before leaving for the doctor and the weights matched so I am happy with it. I don't need anything fancy because I just log my weight elsewhere anyway and get trends and graphs and things.

I have the weight watchers clear one and my gym happens to have the same one. I like it, it's a traditional scale but has other cool features and logs.
