I was hoping to get some advice and input on digital scales. I haven't really started looking yet so I was hoping to get directed in the right direction. I know i want it to be digital and i want it to show lbs in tenths. I want it to be accurate (of course) and i'd like to spend under $75. Ideally i'd like to spend under $50 but i want a quality scale that will last for many many years and would be willing to spend a little bit more. However, i'm open to all suggestions. I honestly don't know what the differences are in scales but i don't need anything fancy like fat analysis, etc... I just want it to be digital and accurate.

I'd appreciate the help! Thanks!

We've had a Thinner brand for at least 3 years, and it's great. Ours measures in .5 lb increments. I found this page (http://www.laurenslinens.com/bathscales.html) for you -- the lowest increment is .2 lbs, though.

We have a Thinner one as well - the one that measures in .2 increments. It seems to work well. We got it at Bed Bath & Beyond. It was $60 but then we used a 20% coupon :)

I'm really happy with my scale from Shaper Image that weighs in 0.2 increments. It has a nice, big lighted display. (That backlight really helps since I weigh myself in the bathroom linen closet :) ) I've had it for about 3 years, and it made it through a cross-country move with flying colors (in original box, which I put inbetween some blankets in a moving box).

I've gotten good ones at BB&B

Any other recommendations? I've decided my scale, while accurate, is too hard to read. I want to get one that's digital. $50ish would be o.k. Thanks!
