A few days ago, I whined that I had actually gained weight.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I have one of those fancy scales that weight pounds and percentage of body fat. I am quite the skeptic, and the main reason I bought it, was that it was digital and that it weighs more weight that most scales. Mine is a Tatina body scale.<\/p>\n
Well, this morning, I started showing significant weight loss (over 1 pound), and I’m seeing the body fat thing remain constant. <\/p>\n
When I lost the 100 pounds before, I would often see the same thing — a substantial weight gain, but a reduction in body fat percentage, following by days of significant weight loss, but constant body fat. Then a weight gain and reduction in body fat percentage, etc.<\/p>\n
I will share that seeing the scale change in one of the two numbers consistantly kept my moral up. If I had used a regular scale, and saw the fluctuations on weight only, I ‘m sure it would have been difficult to maintain weight loss after working hard and seeing the weight gain.<\/p>\n
It also seems accurate. The scale at my gym which is the traditional doctor’s type scale, and mine are generally very close. It measures in 1\/4 pound interverals, and my scale measures in 1\/2 pound. It’s also analog, versus digital which is also going to show some differences.<\/p>\n
I’ve had it for a few years, and it’s definately worth the extra dollars. Suggested retail is 89.99, and at least one website sells it for $59.99<\/p>\n
