Great WOW discovery!

Yesterday I bought one of those scales that measures your body fat percentage and your total body water percentage as well as weight. I know they're not 100% accurate, but I figured it would at least give me a ballpark idea of where I am, help me be sure I'm staying hydrated, and let me monitor a (hopefully) downward trend in the body fat numbers. Guess what? Pre-op I had a 53% body fat number, and now it's just below 40%. Still too high... but when I ran the numbers, it means that 75 of the 90 lbs. I've lost is FAT!!! I was SO EXCITED! Guess all that exercise is truly paying off. And it was SO affirming that I'm doing things the right way. Just had to share it -- another of those WOW moments. Thanks for listening, Cheryl

where did you get this scale and how much did it cost? Gotta love what working out does for ya!!! Love the WOW moments!!!! Dee Dee

I bought the scale at Bed Bath & Beyond, and I think it was $60.00. With a 20% off coupon, it's only $48.00. BTW, we have one of those 'doctor office' type scales, one of those tall ones with weights on the top that you slide to determine your weight. Very accurate. So far, this new scalr one measures exactly the same, to 1/5th of a pound. Cheryl

Cheryl, Where do you get one of these scales, I need one of those? Hugs, Melissa

Melissa, I bought it at Bed Bath & Beyond for $60. And I'm so glad it measures hydration as well, since that's something we have to keep an eye on.

I have a scale that is the same (does weight, body fat% and hydration) - mine came from Sam's Club and was under $30.00. I love it. The readout part detaches from the scale so you can mount it at eye level (no more looking at my feet to see my number). It is infrared. Cheryl WTG on the fat loss !

Very cool... sounds even better, and only half-price. Kia, we're right on track with out weight loss. You're just a tad ahead of me. Fun, eh? Cheryl 5'8" 284/189/145

Gosh, Cheryl, you are SUCH an encouragement! I always try to catch your posts since we have the same surgeon. I'm going to look at Sam's for one of those scales, too, as I've been working out for six months and have lost inches but not a lot of pounds. Keep posting all the good news. Barb in S. GA
