Hello!
I am not sure about a scale that will work for you, but here's a suggestion... I could not find a scale that could weigh me before, so I just used two scales. Put one foot on each and add the two. Worked for me until I got down to a size that I could weigh on a regular scale.

Best wishes!!!
-Mike-

Here is a link to a scale. It is reasonable priced, but I cannot vouch for the quality. The next level of quality takes you into the $230.00 US compared to $80.00 US.. Good luck kiddo!

I found one on Amazon.com.uk: (and it has free shipping!)

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Salter-9175-...077929&sr=8-38

It says capacity of 31st/6...maybe it's something you could use later? Or maybe the company operates in the UK somewhere and makes a higher capacity one? I know some of the Weight Watcher scales in the US are high enough capacity that I was able to use them at over 400 pounds.

Good Luck!

-Mike

Duckie....I'm so glad you asked, cause I'm dying to know myself! I was afraid to ask, you know, new kid on the block, still a little bit shy.

BTW, I'm April & you look awesome in your pictures! GREAT JOB! Not that you needed to hear that from me or anything.
