I have a doctor's office scale that I purchased about 10 years ago. It accurately reads to 400.
Well, didn't you know that obesity in America has risen to epidemic proportions. The scales didn't surprise me at all...just look around you. Everyone is round !!
some things that are round are sexy!!lolQuote:

This reminds me of the space-cruise ship in Wall-E where everyone is 300lbs, rides a hover chair and drinks their meals from styrofoam cups LOL
I can fit into anything for the most part...I only need a door cracked and I stand sideways and I can slide right on it.Quote:

As to scales, there is something very nice about the old scales ,the needed procedures to get the correct weight is rewarding and dead accurate.
