Looking to buy some scales, has anyone used the fitbit scales?  Right now just have to good old fashion ones, but think they are shot.  Any suggestions?

 

Thanks, Deb

Yes I bought the Aria a few months ago, I like them. Like that they sync to your fitbit account by wi-fi (exept cheating is impossible:) but I am happy with them. Can be a bit of a pain to set up and again if your wi-fi code changes.

I love my Aria scales, and I would definitely recommend them to anyone who is trying to lose weight. It's great that everything goes straight into your Fitbit account, I can't pretend I didn't weigh myself anymore, like I used to sometimes before if the scales gave me the wrong answer. The badges I get from Fitbit are very good motivation, and I am also able to see my body fat and my lean weight.

Yes, compared with other scales to with weight. I don't think body fat measurement is though, not compared to what the gym said mine was. And our gym is owned by the hospital, call it the Wellness Center. Not like most gyms I have been to or like it was before they owned it.

Yeah, I'm not convinced on the body fat percentage reported by these scales. I lost 14 kg don't think it was muscle, and the number barely moved, seemed way too high. But the weight seems accurate to me, and maybe the body fat is okay too. I've never really found a body fat measurement I was happy with, apart from the one they did at the gym when I joined years ago. I just don't think any scales can do an accurate measurement on this, just my opinion.
