Bathroom Scales

[Ric.ror]

Argos have a choice of 120!
Which would you recommend? I am looking to loose weight and reduce blood pressure - so I think something more than the basic will be needed

Basic ones will be fine. Think about buying a blood pressure monitor as well if you think it would be useful.

For the scales, Ric...have a look at the Aldi Visage Body Fat Scale...x

I can't recommend my scales - they have taken to saying 'one at a time please' when I stand on them :(

Seriously though folks - buy basic scales - it's less important that they are 'right' (in weight terms) than that they are consistent - always use on a solid floor seems to be the key.

For a BP monitor, always go for an upper-arm cuff version - the wrist/finger ones are quite flaky.

This is the one I have

Omron M2 Basic Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitor

I had it checked by my GP nurse & it is just about spot-on.

I have some very expensive body fat scales and the body fat percentage is wildly different every time I stand on them.

Scales and a tape measure will give you enough information about your progress.

Losing weight can be challenging. Try this method out. It helped me lose 20 lbs.
