Weighing In…
Friday morning I got on the coolest scale I have ever seen. It not only told me how much I weigh, but my percentage body fat, amount of water in my body, and how many calories I need to eat a day. What did I learn well, I am over weight but not by much and the working out is working and I need to drink more water.
Professional Body Composition Analyzer / Scale TBF-300A
Age…....................... 34
Height….................... 6’0”
Weight…................... 194.6lb
FAT%….................... 21.7%
Water%…................. 57%
Fat…........................ 42.2lb
Water….................... 111.6lb
Bone/muscle/giblets….. 40.8lb
Metabolic Rate…......... 1969cal/day
The target fat% for me should be 8-20%, so I am over by 1.7%. So the scale says I am over weight, but only by 3 or 4lb of body fat. Water should be between 60-70%. Where the 98% water my Mom told me went I have no idea. So there you have it, a lot of data to say I need to eat less junk food, and get some exercise.

Dan, the scale is very cool and gadigitie(toy-like)but it is $1300.00, it would help me to loose weight because I would no longer be able to purchase food. (either that or I would have to stop buying shoes, which would cause depression that might also cause me to whither away!- I'd probably just give up food.)
