This is the link of the scale I got. It's fairly cheap. So far, I like it. You can customize the weight settings, goals, stuff like that. I also think it can interface with things like the Apple fitness and Samsung health. But I'm happy with it for the price and ease of use.

I bought a scale from Amazon by FITINDEX and I love it! Shows me everything, weight, BMI, body fat, visceral fat, BMR, and even my metabolic age (which says I'm 7 years older than I am 🤣 so I have work to do). It connects through Bluetooth and I can put multiple users on it so it keeps track of everyone individually
The app is called FitIndex and works well with this scale from amazon. I purchased it and it has been very helpful. It syncs with apple health and all of the major apps like MFP.
Thanks! I used the FITINDEX scale and app that I purchased from amazon.
It is not the most absolutely accurate but it is consistent with itself to track changes over time.

I also forgot on my how I did it is to weigh yourself daily in the morning after using the restroom. Get in the habit of doing this. It’s hard to see the scale go up 3-6 pounds some mornings but you get good trends and your weigh in day isn’t a fluke that is high or low.
I like my fitindex scale. Amazon link
Been using this one for a couple of years. Works great with the app.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078HW8BPY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_QoBeGb16GN6VV Here's just the first one I found on amazon, I don't remember the exact one I got. But they're just called body composition scales so you could definitely shop around and see what's the best bang for you buck!
Maybe check this one out on amazon. I don't have it but it has really good reviews and it's cheaper. It does your BMI and body fat percentage among other things. It has a five percent off coupon right now. I'd get it if we had the funds. Gonna save it to my wishlist! :)
Congrats OP! That’s incredible. I know that took a ton of dedication; you should be so proud.
Lots of questions about the scale. I have the same app so I’m guessing OP uses the same scale I have:

Of course! And it’s called FITINDEX, it comes with this scale I bought on Amazon for like $25! I highly recommend it, it’s one of those fancy ones that like knows your metabolism and the weight of your muscle, water, fat, etc, which is cool because there have been times where the my overall weight hasn’t changed, but my body fat has gone down or my muscle has increased! It’s really helpful to see that stuff sometimes!
This scale has worked really well for me over the past couple of years. I picked it up on a Prime day sale for less than $20 USD and have seen it as low as $15 on Black Friday.
It comes with a companion app and has synched just fine with other apps I use (Zero and MFP), along with my health data on my iPhone.
Agree with the other poster that said regardless of which scale, consistency is key - I weigh daily just for the data points.
I highly recommend the smart scales (you can buy varying ones from on IG or Amazon). The one I use tracks everything via separate app Body Weight, BMI, Body Fat %, Water %, Skeletal Muscle, Fat-free Body Weight, Subcutaneous Fat, Visceral Fat, Muscle Mass, Bone Mass, Protein, Basal Metabolism, and Body Age. I’m not certain how accurate those things are but interesting to see the stats and track over time
I just joined Noom so excited to track my progress with this tool, too!
For those that are curious about the Scale I'll post the link to it here it's $20 and the app comes with it.

syncs with google fit/apple whatever. That being said, the app is actually nice/well designed enough that I just use that. It also uses bioimpedence to estimate BF% and a bunch of other stuff. Obviously not super accurate, but good for tracking relative progress if you measure under consistent conditions (ex: first thing in the AM, after peeing before eating)
What’s working for me: not counting calories or macros.
Fasting for at least 20 hours between meals - often as much as 50 hours between meals. Eating clean and keto when I do eat and as much as I want within a 90 min window before starting the next fast of AT LEAST 20 hours.
Hunger, weight, and body fat are all WAY down since I implemented this way of eating. Energy and optimism are WAY up.
Also, I have this scale which, for me, has been a. Game changer. Some days my weight does not move, but my body fat percentage does drop. My scale is actually showing my body retaining MORE water the more fat I lose. I can also weigh several times a day and the scale/app extrapolate the averages for me so I don’t need to worry about exact time every day... the rules I follow are to weigh after using the restroom and with 0 clothes on.
I hope this is helpful. Here is a link to the scale... I cannot recommend it highly enough since as Tim Ferriss says in 4-Hour Body - it’s hard to embark on a weight loss (actually fat loss/body recomposition) journey without a baseline body composition analysis and then the ability to easily follow up on that as plateaus represented by weight only can occur often and be extremely discouraging as is your case currently.

Also for those wondering, I highly recommend this Bluetooth Body fat scale I found on amazon. It's very user friendly, has tons of data that I feel would be useful to track your progress during the keto diet. Bluetooth Body Fat Scale by FitIndex
I have this FitIndex scale I bought on sale from Amazon in July and I really like it. I think I've just changed the batteries once (from the ones that it came with) and I've never had any issues with it. I enjoy the look of the app and the product has a lot of good reviews.
My old digital scale was that way. I bought a better one and it is exactly the same (down to the tenth) every time. This is the one that I got, about $25 on Amazon.
I will add my endorsement of this scale (although mine is branded differently as a FITINDEX brand scale...I'm pretty sure it's the exact same product.)
Currently less than $20 on Amazon too
The app is called FitIndex and works well with this scale from amazon. I purchased it and it has been very helpful. It syncs with apple health and all of the major apps like MFP.
My FitIndex scale looks to have the same app too :)
This Bluetooth one has been my fave. Cheap & I like that it stores everything in an app for me
I bought this scale for under $25 and it tracks it all from BMI to weight all on my phone.
This, scales on amazon are 20ish bucks, worth it

Yeah, my insulin/leptin resistance has been full time for so long that I don't remember what it was like before this lol. Which sucks because I swam competitively for a decade and was in such good shape for so long. But I've also been hypothyroid since I was 17, and my real issues didn't really start until I experienced traumatic weight loss in 2015. After a bout of influenza B that turned into pneumonia.. I got rheumatic fever and lost 45lbs in 6 weeks because I couldn't handle solid food from my tonsils being golf balls. My autoimmune flares started like.. 6 months later.
I'm 5'2'', about to turn 30, and my highest weight was 209 this past April. I normally intermittent fast with a lazy keto diet, and haven't changed anything in that sense since starting my shots. I lost my first 6lbs by retraining myself to eat once I got my MMJ card.. but it took 3 months while fasting, reducing my calories to about 800 a day, and just really torturing myself. Before starting my shots, I was also on 2000mg metformin a day for my PCOS which was doing jackshit for weight but keeping me regular.
I finally got to visit the clinic on 7/25, and that's when they let me know I could get started on Saxenda immediately since my script for Wegovy was initially prescribed in late May. I started my shots 7/28.
I do one "official" morning weigh in around 8am for my tracker (I use Apple Health and an Apple Watch). I recently started doing the physical measurements out of frustration over stalling between 8/6-8/10.. But I'm finding I like to do it and it's much more mentally healthy for me personally. My plan is to do them at least once a week to get into the routine, and maybe more frequently than that.
So my current stats and some datapoints (sorry, i'm a data-person for a living):
Date | Weight (lbs) | Measurements -Waist/Hip/Bust (in) | Dose (mg) |
---|---|---|---|
7/25 | 203 | 38.5/na/na | n/a |
7/30 | 196.4 | None taken | 0.6 |
8/6 | 192 | 36.0/47.0/44.5 | 1.2 |
8/10 | 191.6 | 35.5/46.0/42.5 | 0.9 |
Today my FitIndex scale blessed me by actually doing a full body comp and I got a better view of my muscle and bone mass, and along with the actual break down of my current body fat percent (~43.6%)
Bone Mass (lbs) | Muscle Mass (lbs) | Subcutaneous fat % | Visceral fat (lbs) |
---|---|---|---|
6.4 | 101.6 | 37.6 | 17 |
I highly recommend getting a scale like this and a soft tape measure or smart one to go a bit deeper on the measurements to see how your body is changing over time. Seeing that my scale weighed my muscle mass at 102lbs today felt like a huge win and just.. Healthy validation. Like, I have a good core here.. I can easily gain more muscle mass and make this entire progress even simpler. Because it's daunting setting goal weights, and seeing just how much there can be to lose, and after years of struggling it just seems impossible. So knowing now that I really do have that much muscle already makes the 56lbs I have to lose much more mentally manageable. Like, okay, how much of that can I reasonably convert to muscle versus just losing fat?
So, while i've personally been in the hurt box, and hit a point Sunday where I was ready to give up.. I'm super encouraged by my results so far even though I've stalled out on the scale size. I tapered up to 1.2mg on schedule, but had to drop back down to 0.9mg the last few days because of how poorly I responded to the increase. I'm going to try 1.2mg again tonight and will report back later.. Got my new script for Zofran ready and waiting on deck with my favorite home depot bucket and some gatorade lol.
Feel free to message me! I'm always happy to share my experiences, listen to others, and just be a support network. Going this route is fucking difficult and really hard work and we need all the support and tips and encouragement we can get. :)
I have the FITINDEX (https://www.amazon.com/Bluetooth-FITINDEX-Wireless-Bathroom-Composition/dp/B078HW8BPY) and it’s worked great!

I absolutely love this scale! Has all the bells and whistles and doesn't kill the bank :)

Iuse this fitindex scale from Amazon , it's less than 30$ . It has its own app that links data into the Fitbit app . I love it !

I like this one which has bluetooth, so it will track the trends over time for me. Though if you're less lazy you can just log it in a spreadsheet or my fitness pal or something. I agree the body fat% feature is worthless.
Like previous comment said, you can't spot reduce, it will be the last place you lose weight from and first to gain back, so be patient.
Try getting a 'smart' weighing machine: something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Bluetooth-FITINDEX-Wireless-Bathroom-Composition/dp/B078HW8BPY/
And check what your body fat actually is. You will tweak your calories or exercise once you know your numbers.
This is the one I use: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078HW8BPY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_FIsa42CBvaeyS. Bluetooths to your phone and helps you keep track. Lost 43 lbs so far with this and my food scale.
