How's this for weird?

I bought a new scale today... And for the first time in my life, that excites me... It's a WW scale and was on clearance at Target. Not ony does it do weight, but it also calculates BMI, BMI level, Body Fat weight, Body Fat percentage and most importantly for me, Hydration level... Who woulda thunk a scale would excite someone who went 4 years without weigher herself once?

Very cool, Becky! I do understand your mindset. We all do. I have the Tanita scale and it does body fat but yours sounds pretty cool. It'll be interesting to see what kinds of readings you get out of it regarding body fat and hydration. I do know that body fat can fluctuate by 5+ % in a day based on hydration levels so it is best to find a set time of day and then compare one day/week/month's reading to another done at the same time. I've also read that body percentage will be higher first thing in the morning due to dehydration overnight so that usually afternoon may yield a better percentage. Kathy

hey Becky...how much was it, maybe the'll honor the price here for me, I've had my eye on the WW scale, but it was tooo much mula. Congrats on ur bargain!

It was more than what I would typically pay for a scale, but I couldn't pass up the thought of "clearance". I believe it was $34.95.

Very Cool! That scale would certainly send me into a much deeper form of Scale Obsession! I would need intensive inpatient rehab counseling to get myself off that scale!

Yeah, I was a little concerned with it, too, but to get anything but regular weight, you have to be barefoot and it's just too much of a pain to keep taking my socks and shoes off...
