A body weight scale is a useful tool if you are trying to lose or maintain weight, says Anne Till, author of "The Ultimate Diet Solution." Scales allow you to track your progress and celebrate your success. Till recommends finding a body weight scale that gives you your weight digitally because they are more accurate. New upright scales are also highly accurate but accuracy decreases over time, says Till. The best bathroom scales also fit well into the space where they will be used and allow you to easily determine your weight.

The Tanita Solar Digital Scale HS-302 is one of the best body weight scales, according to Consumer Search, because it is solar powered and is highly accurate. The digital screen runs off of solar power or your bathroom lighting. The scale provides accurate and consistent weight readings. It has a 330-pound weight capacity and measures weight in 0.2-pound increments up to 200 pounds. It measures using 0.5-pound increments for any weight above 200 pounds.

I don't mean to be rude, but this article is based entirely from ConsumerSearch.com. It's as if the author was asked to do a writing assignment and begrudgingly picked a website to paraphrase. I'm surprised that a writing instructor with a master's degree in education would feel that using one source for the bulk of their article didn't constitute plagiarism.
