It is just that I've crested the 700 lbs. mark a few times in the past, so while xl-700 is nice I've had a few times it has errored out. I'd rather know how much I'm over, opposed to, hmm I must be bigger now, because i can't get my favored jeans over my thighs

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.
