The name of the sensor that measures weight is called a "strain gauge". You can google for the name and see where you can buy it. Here are some links that might be helpful.

I know Cosway also selling a cheap kitchen digital scale. SO if you fail to get the sensor, you might get the sensor from the kitchen scale. Just remove the electronics and use the sensor inside. The LCD and buttons can be kept for other projects.

What is your weight range? I have done for weight scale 1k to 10k using Force Sensitive Resistor.
