Lifestyle tips

I'm around 650 pounds and use an industrial platform scale from Uline. It's a Deluxe model with a 1,300 pound capacity. It seems to be reliable, but I have nothing to compare it to since I now exceed the capacity of the scales at my doctors' offices

I imagine that it must be stressful when you find a doctor you like who treats you as a person, not as a diet issue, and then find you exceed their equipment. Do you find the U-line scale worth the purchase?

Oh, I found the cost ridiculous initially, so I went through several cheaper models first. Not only did the cost add up, but they also tended to read errors even when I was a good bit below capacity. So yes, I'm glad I got this one. It's worked well for 18 months now.

One of the health metrics my doctor has asked me to start tracking is % of body fat, so my search is ongoing again as I'm looking for a scale in high capacity that also measures body fat as well. Or a way to do this that isn't connected to a scale. Anyone know if you can still use the body fat features of a scale if you exceed the capacity of the scale?

I'm looking to keep my fitness monies low and at home, as my current doctor still is into shaming me every visit about my size, I mean I get it doc but.......

I want one like they have at heart attack grill

well found a scale that measures bmi and % of fat but the senors are to close er my thighs are too fat

It would be nice if the BMI was actually accurate. Then you could just convert to figure your weight. Does it error out on you or is it just way off?

At least you found a scale that gives extra info! Sounds like the sensor spacing could make readings tricky — maybe try standing a little differently to see if it still picks up accurately.

Well, it errors out on the weight, and trying to dig down into other measurements
