My New Scales
My new scales measure more than I could imagine ... enough numbers to keep me playing math games in my head all day and night. They absolutely rule. Like I said, I don't expect that they were calibrated by NASA, but I believe they will be very consistent, and that's what I need anyway. I don't care what the numbers say so much as how much fat I have no compared to yesterday.
There is only one unfortunate drawback ... They also weigh me about a pound or a pound and a half more than my old scales (can't quite tell cuz the old model goes in increments of half a pound, this one in increments of .2). Crap. My old scales have me at 121.5 today. A minor miracle that I would have believed wholeheartedly before the Star Trek model (as my Honey Bunny calls it) arrived. The two scales seem very close in BF% tho... The new scales also measure hydration and bone mineral mass. I don't know about the bone mass, and it does warn that it's no substitute for a bone scan, but the hydration thing seems bang on (Yes, I'm that much of a geek that I got my jug of water and my calculator right out the night I got them - but you'll never hear anyone complain that I'm tough to entertain!)
It appears that scales all mellow with age. Am I wrong? Everyone knows a set of 'old scales' are always a coupla pounds more polite.
