Yesterday I asked you to share your weigh-in habits with me, and many of you weigh yourselves more than I’ve ever dreamed of weighing myself! I typically weigh-in once a week (though I’m out of town today which means I won’t weigh-in until next Friday) and find myself wanting to step on the scale more and more lately.
One’s relationship with the scale is a tricky thing, but the bottom line is that it’s a basic and necessary tool when the goal is weight-loss. People tell say “forget the scale” or “lose the scale” or “it’s just a number.” And while it is just a number, it is monumentally important for me to watch that number go down.
I’m ready to see that number decrease more regularly again in my own life, and I know many of you have the same goal. And having an accuracte scale that can support my weight plus some is important to me because when I tipped the scales at 400 pounds, it was nearly impossible to find a scale that could accomodate my size.
The good folks at EatSmart understand the value of a durable and accurate scale as much as they understand the value of a healthy lifestyle so they’re going to see to it that one of you receives a new Precision Plus Digital Bathroom Scale! How cool is that? And what’s even cooler is that this scale has the capacity to weigh up to 440 lbs. I love this scale because the display is huge, and it would have worked for me at my heaviest.
Winning is simple, and there are a few ways to do it:
1) Take a look at the Precision Plus Digital Scale here then come back and tell me if you would benefit by owning it! (one entry)
2) Follow @eatsmartscales on twitter and tell them @alltheweigh says hi! (two entries)
3) Like EatSmart on Facebook and tell them you’re participating in this giveaway. Feel free to tell me hi on my page too though it’s not required to receive your entry: facebook.com/alltheweighblog (two entries)
4) Blog about this giveaway on your blog. Feel free to keep it short and sweet. Just don’t forget to link back to this post! (three entries)
I’ll choose a winner Monday, July 18th, 2011 so weigh-in for your chance to win!

Are your relatives eligible? If so, count me in! I would love to win this scale because my weight is an important part of my life. Thanks neice! Be sure to pick your favorite aunt!
I tweeted and followed and am also going to say I would HUGELY benefit from having an accurate scale because the one I currently have seems to waiver on accurate to “way out in the solar system.” It’s good when it’s wrong on the low side… but even that’s not REALLY good, because I should be getting an accurate view of my weight. I’m currently using the scale at the gym so it’d be super cool to own my own fancy one like this!
I’m in maintenance mode and weigh myself every few days. I have a terrible old non-digital scale that always needs to be zeroed before I step on it. It’s really not accurate at all. Thanks for the giveaway!

Uhhh would I???! Yes! I am just using my Wii fit and it’s such a pain to have to start the Wii up and do all the sign-in necessary to weigh-in.
I would totally benefit. I’m starting just north of 400 and it’s hard finding a scale that works for me. I also tweeted. great giveaway btw.
Not only do I need this scale I so want this scale!! I am now following EatSmart and you on both Twitter and Facebook!!

I really could use this scale. I’m on Day 3 of WW online and as I type this my daughter is sitting beside me eating tortilla chips and nacho cheese dip. I am resisting the urge to reach over and enjoy some right along with her. Instead I’ll enjoy my diet coke and go grab a peach.

I would definitely benefit from this scale! I’ve been wanting to buy a digital scale but haven’t had the money to shell out.
I started Weight Watchers in January and lost 32 pounds. I was no longer able to afford the monthly fee so I canceled and over the last month I have gone a little food crazy. My accountability is gone. This scale would help me see how far track I’ve gotten and keep me accountable instead of in denial.
I understand the accountability being gone so I’m going to put a little group together for folks who want and need some free accountability. I’ll keep you posted…
Hey cuz I could definitely benefit from that scale! I just started losing weight again and I have been needing a scale of my own!! Thanks for considering your favorite cousin!
I would love to have this scale. My scale seems to be off some days. I can step on it and be one number and then step on it again and it be different. I would love to get rid of it for this scale. Entry 1.

I would love to own this scale because my husband and I recently decided we need to try to loose a lot of weight and be healthier for our kids. Hope I win
I would LOVE this scale, we have an OLLLLD scale that I am sure is off! Hope it’s off in a good way though

There are are 3 things I really love about this scale!
1) It only requires 2 AAA batteries (most need 4!)
2) The base is 15″ wide (ones I’ve priced are 12″)
and most important!
3) It read up it 440 lbs! This is huge for me beacause I wouldn’t need a speacial scale for me or my dad who is just over 400 lbs!
Btw I posted on Eat Smart Products wall and tweeted, as well! Thank you!

I would FOR SURE benefit from this scale. The one I have is on it’s last leg and I need something a tad bit more accurate!!
Not only would I benefit from this scale, but my *whole family* would benefit! We have all just started a family health and wellness program (not a diet – we’ve changed our lifestyles!) and we need a scale that will weigh everyone – without us having to search for a special scale for the hubby.
This scale would serve that purpose beautifully!
I’ve been a follower for some time now, and although I don’t comment, your blogs often give me much food for thought.
Keep on being you!
I would definitely benefit from owning a Precision Plus scale! I run a small weight loss group. It’s just a little healthy competitive thing amongst a few friends to help us stay on track and get together a couple times a month. We currently use my scale and it has been a little flaky lately – I would love to have a more reliable one and I’m sure my ladies would appreciate it too! Thanks for the opportunity!
I just did a post on my blog how I was looking at this exact scale on Amazon! I wouldhugely benefit because my current sale is super inconsistent. I will definitely put a post on my blog about your giveaway.
Checked out the scale!! Love that it weighs up to 440. My daughters cant waeigh in on ‘normal’ scales and its so hard for her to track her weight loss.
Liked eatsmart and gave you a shout out on their wall on facebook
Liked (wish I could say loved) your facebook page!! youre such a wonderful. insperation!! and so very human!! Love that about you and your blogging!
I would LOVE to have this scale!!! I need a new one badly! =)
Just liked them on Facebook (already like you there too ha ha)
i really do enjoy the comments on all the weigh. i know that the winner of the scale will be a very deserving person. bless you all in your weight loss and /or maintenance efforts. don’t ever quit trying!!
I’ve realized that my scale is off by six pounds! I would love to get an accurate understanding of where my weight is!
I love that scale! The scale that I have right now isn’t exactly accurate, unless my weight tends to fluctuate ridiculously within a few minutes. I would appreciate such a fantastic weight management tool.

I looked at the scale and loved it. My son would benefit from this because of the weight it will accomodate–currently our scale reads “error” every time he steps on it, and it’s very frustrating for him not to be able to check his weight more than once a week.

So… the question about how often we weigh ourselves was just a lead in to this giveaway? huh.
Not really, no…but it worked out pretty well. It seems we all have varying relationships with the scale though most of us believe we need one..I certainly do.
I would love to have scales like this. The ones I have always give a different number every time I step on them. I can weigh myself step off the scales and step right back on them and they will read five to six pds different. I need something that I can rely on. Thank you, Barbara.
I own their food scale and I LOVE it. It would mean a lot to have an accurate scale to weigh in on and it’s pretty!
Wow – fabulous giveaway! This would be a great fit for my partner and me, as we both want to start tracking our weight but can’t afford an accurate scale.
Hi-already have the eat smart scale and love it. I just wanted to share that we weigh exactly the same! I was also 259.2 yesterday morning.
I would benefit by having this scale because I had to throw out my last scale and there’s no way to keep yourself accountable like weekly weigh ins!
Our scale here died a couple of weeks ago so we would definitely benefit from it greatly.
I follow eatsmart of twitter
I would benefit from owning it, just to keep track of where im at.
I would DEFINITELY benefit from this scale – I’m in the market for a new one!
Liked EatSmart and told them I’m participating in your giveaway!
I am expecting my baby boy soon and this would definitely help me out when trying to lose all the extra baby weight!

i will benefit from this giveway because i just recently started my weightloss journey, but its kind of hard to know my progress because my scale is very inaccurate and without my current weight, i dont know if my moving ahead of moving back.
My scale is broken and needs replacing, so yeah, it’d be helpful!
I like to weigh myself in the morning after I go to the bathroom. I usually just weigh myself once a week. Monday’s are no good for me because I’m not as strict with my eating. The scale I have now will give me 3 different readings in the same weighin. It would be great to have a nice new EatSmart scale!
I would love, love, love to win this scale. I weigh myself three times a day, I know a little obsessed but it really does help me stay on track and my current scale stinks in terms of accuracy so I really think I could benefit from winning this scale. THanks.
I posted the giveaway on my blog! Come and follow me there!
