Scale recommendation?

[robinb]

My scale has finally given up the ghost. Do you have a scale that you love? My old one did have body fat % and I think I still want that for my DD. Her BMI is high for her age but she's a small/size 4 and all muscle. I think it's important for her to see her body fat %. For me, it's just depressing, LOL.

I got my scale on amazon - just looked for one with good reviews. Maybe do a search there? Mine doesn't do body fat %. I don't think scales can give that measurement accurately anyway?

I have not looked on Amazon yet. I wanted to get some recommendations here first .

I have an Aria scale by FitBit and I really love it -- I don't always like what it is telling me though. It does body fat percentage also and integrates with my FitBit data. Other family members can use it too. It is very accurate comparing it to the WW scale and the doctor's scale.

I didn't know FitBit made scales too - thanks for the info!

I have a Jawbone UP (it was cheap at Costco). Maybe I'll see if there is one that connects with it but works without it.

Anyone else?

I have a Tanita Ironman. It does weight, body fat, and a few other things always seems consistent with the doctor's office so I assume it is accurate. Unfortunately!

I keep wondering how on earth a scale can give an accurate body fat %. I would just go with a regular weight measuring scale and also do measurements of waist, hips, arms, etc to track progress.
