Everyone wants to be healthy and for most people that means losing weight (me included)! I did used to keep track of my weight using a normal pair of scales but it isn’t very often and when I did I’d remember the weight but not very accurately always rounding up or rounding down. It wasn’t helping much unless I miraculously lost a whole stone then I’d probably notice!
Then I saw these scales and I LOVE gadgets, they’re made by Withings and in there simplest form, you stand on them, they recognise you, save your weight, body fat % and BMI to a secure website. GREAT.
I bought them and I love them! Keeping track of my weight is so easy now. Infact I don’t even bother I just stand on these scales every morning before I shower, then when I’m in a healthy mood I’ll check the website (or app) to see how my weight is doing. The interesting thing happened when I went on holiday, check out the chart below:
This is the website showing my weight over a month period. See the steep incline, that was the measurements before and after my two week villa holiday to Greece. I drank a lot of beer ate a lot of food and put on 10pounds. Then the cool thing is the decline slope after it showing me losing the weight again as I get back into my normal routine.
These scales are so good, they’ve made it so much easier for me to track my weight. Before I would have noticed I’d put on weight on holiday, but no idea exactly how much and I wouldn’t see this trend of me losing the weight again, it lets me no that I’m heading in the right direction and what I’m doing/eating is right!
I bought my scales from Amazon
The setup is easy you literally plug them in to your computer once, select your wifi network from the list, enter your wifi password and they’re ready to go. You can then stand on them and get weighed. Go on the website and sign up http://my.withings.com/ then when you weigh yourself you will start to see your results come through!
I believe they can recognise upto four different people standing on them and will keep your data separate, so you will all get your own graph. There is also an ace app for iPhone and Android to check your stats on the go (to brag to your mates about your weight loss).
Yes they on the expensive side of scale prices, but they are AWESOME!
