So I'm dinking around Amazon. I'm looking for a new weight scale that will replace the behemoth analog scale that I own now. My eyesight fading rapidly I need something with easy to read digits.
I come across a scale so beautiful I think "I'm not even sure I can mar the surface of that with my dirty feet" Enter...the Wightings Wifi scale. Gorgeous and it comes in Callista Flockhart proportions Here's the site for more info. Yes there's an iPhone/Touch app but it gets better. This scale takes your measurements and then, via Wifi, updates an online server with your weight, BMI, Lean Mass and Fat Mass. You can check the status of your "labor" by logging into the Wighings website with your account from any browser or there's a Free iPhone app to keep track. There's even the ability to log results on Twitter at user specified intervals for the more social amongst us. Here's the kicker for me. If you have multiple people in a household that want to keep track of their body composition the scale has intelligent logic built in that differentiates from household members by their composition. So if my 50lb son steps on the scale no biggy the scale knows my settings and matches them to me automatically. I'd have to have a near clone in BMI, Weight and Fat/Lean Mass to confuse the scale. The price for this Luxury? An Apple'esque $160. The account for tracking is free well as the iPhone app. I just may do this next year. It's small ...it's smart takes all the measurements I need. Oh yes the Amazon reviews for it are all flawless 5 star I bough one of the Omron handheld body fat measure tools and I never use it. I need all my stats captured and logged at one time. This product looks like the ticket. omgwtfbbq |

Drew, it will fit in your pocket better if you uninstall some apps. I mean, really, you only need one poo log app.

Hell I've pretty much decided i'm going to spring for this scale in January. I've gotta get back to hitting the gym at least 3 times a week and watching what I eat. By summer I'll be lean mean and having no green (as in greenbacks..sigh) omgwtfbbq |

I think I'm picking it up in January. I've taken 2009 off but it's time to get back in the saddle as far as working out goes.

I'm thinking about ordering this scale from Amazon. I have been getting back into working out and it would be nice to have something to monitor my weight and all that jazz to help keep me motivated on a daily basis.
hmurchison, did you ever pick this up? Anyone else purchase this scale by chance? Die young and save yourself.... @yontsey |

I've been using this for a while now. I really like it. It doesn't "do" anything, though. I figure if I weigh myself once or twice a day, I can figure out what's going on.

EDIT: Apparently, people have been waiting for 3 years to get one of these. Here's a message from the COO that I found in the forum page from 3 days ago: Quote:

jdcfsu and I talked briefly on Twitter about the Jawbone Up. That looks like an awesome product that measures your movement habits, eating habits, and sleep patterns. That would be something worth checking out.

My feeling is that an Apple scale would have a completely glossy surface with no visible LCD area until you step on it. An Apple logo would be present to correctly orient the scale.
My own scale is a fairly utilitarian Omron unit. It's fairly convenient for measuring changes in body fat/muscle percentage over time. |

We got one just over a month ago, chiefly to track BMI and body fat percentage over time. As my wife has been working out a lot lately (and I've been shamelessly sitting on my ass), it's done a great job of measuring and tracking her progress. I'm hoping to get some more use out of it soon, too. The quality of this board depends on the quality of the posts.

Don't let your wife get too far ahead of you! You're supposed to be equal partners. If one of you gets too far or too good at something, it's going to put the other at a disadvantage. So, get in shape too, and your marriage will be stronger than ever. I've been waiting for a true sub-PowerBook for more than 10 years. The 11-inch MacBook Air finally delivers on all counts! It beats the hell out of both my PowerBook 2400c and my 12-inch PowerBook G4 -- no contest whatsoever. |
