Weighing In: A Look at Scales

The daily morning weigh in can be an intimidating prospect, but studies show that weighing in on a daily basis can reduce the chances of gaining or regaining weight. If you're in the market for a new scale, purchase a digital scale which tends to be more accurate and perform better than an analog scale.

Take a look at these five. Not only will these scales give you an accurate number, but they can help you on your way to weight loss!
