My Mum brought a pair after reading the 'CHOICE' article. She says they are excellent! Very accurate. She was weighed at the doctor's by the proper scales, and hers were the same at home! So, ALDI scales seem good...

I have a pair of Weight Watchers scales I bought from Big W about 3 years ago.
Love them, they haven't missed a beat and I am still on the first set of batteries.
Cost: $79

Can someone please tell me which scales are good. I've bought two sets previously which didn't remain accurate for very long.

I ordered these ones before my surgery:

I got them because they go up to 180kgs so thought it would give a more accurate reading than the 150kg capacity ones as I started my journey at 154 kgs. All up in total I think it cost about $60 with postage. They have them on special for $50.

They were ordered online, they are lightweight and easy to use.

The only negative thing Im finding is that Im on them every day!

And of course the scales at my surgeons office gives a different reading (about 2kgs difference). What's with that!

Good luck

Nat

scales are EVIL!!

Ok - two questions... a) does anyone know why scales change your weight when you weigh a few times in a row? This morning I was trying to figure something out on my scales, and they showed three different weights over five weighings.

B) Does anyone have weight watchers scales? I bought mine fairly recently and they didn't come with any instructions. I can't figure out how to change from measurement of weight to fat...

Ta!

I bought a pair of Weight Watchers scales from Big W.
$69 or $79 can't remember.

They are good, happy with them.

Look what I found!!! This site has ones that go to 250 kilos also.

Isnt it nice to know that there are things available to us that dont limit us.

Bout time!!!

Do any of the digital ones go higher than 150?

Hi Nat,

I bought dial ones for that reason, they only "officially" went up to 150kg, but then the needle went round past zero so I could work it out that way. I wish now that I had good digital ones though, as the dial ones only show 1/2kg increments, and that is a bit of a pain. If I had my time again, I would use the scales at a local chemist until I got to 150kg then get some good digital ones that go up to 150kg. You're going to get under that on Opti.

Hi guys

Just a question, where can you get weighing scales that go over the 150 kilo mark? I know I wont be there for long but just wanted to know.

Is there somewhere I can get them without it costing me millions!!!!

Thanks

nat

glad yours arrived and hope mine give a similar result :)

cheers

Yes, I received mine a week ago... maybe it's worth ringing them to find out what's happened...? They rang me on the day I ordered them, to confirm they'd received the order. They're GOOOD! They weigh me 2kg lighter than my old scales

Hi ssjad

Have you received your scales yet? I ordered them but have not seen them (also can't tell that they have taken out payment....hhhmmm

I will "quote " you on that i went in and got myself some new scales, from harris scarfe....

I saw a junk mail brochure the other day, I think it was Harris Scarfe and they had
WW scales for over $100 off down to around $39 I think from memory but don't quote me on that price lol.
