Can anyone recommend some scales?

I've just started calorie counting using my fitness pal. Went to weight myself and my old scales are clearly not right.

Can anyone recommend some decent (but not too expensive) scales? I have no idea what type are best. I have mechanical scales at the moment but was wondering whether electronic would be better?

I have these ones. Do the job and cheap. amazon.co.uk/dp/B07QNXN1KW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_iM4XFbN8W5RMM?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1]]

I also had mechanical ones and had a same issue like you with accuracy. Mine weren't broken though as I found out after buying these... Was bit of a shock👀

I see the link is dodgy. It's vigorun bathroom scales for about 30 quid

Thanks for the recommendation, these look good. Mine are telling me I weigh less than I think I do and I need a good dose of reality!

Ooooh. I hope yours are not broken too then😁

These are ok. Do what they are supposed to do. I test mine every few weeks by going on them with dumbbell and then without, just to check they record accurate change.

That's a good tip. I've ordered them and bracing myself for what an accurate set of scales might tell me Smile

I've got these (below) and they are excellent

Last forever and they're accurate too

I enjoy the body fat/bone density etc sections too, but I don't use them all the time
