Product Review: Great Scale!

Summary: 5 Stars
Wow, according to the scale, my visceral fat (gut) has gone up since I last checked two weeks ago--I need to work on that. This scale has helped me a lot to track my progress against what I eat and what exercise I take up. Fat percentages, bone mass, and other stats help me understand what changes my body goes through depending on how I treat it, so it inspires me to want to improve the numbers that are going the wrong way. It's money well spent, considering it could be blown otherwise on a couple of dinners out.Product Review: Great for the athletic person
Summary: 4 Stars
Got this scale for my athletic teenage son and he loves it. I think seeing a change in body fat rating helped him to lose those extra pounds and keep them off. Now if it would just encourage me...Product Review: Great healthy lifestyle tool
Summary: 5 Stars
I recently began using the Tanita body monitor. It provides a comprehensive set of parameters which help me gauge the progress I'm making in managing my health. Rather than simply telling me my weight, it gives me much more insight into the composition of my weight- bpdy fat %, water weight, body age, etc. I now have a much clearer picture of the results of my diet and exercise. I highly recommend it.Product Review: Great looking scale with plenty of functions
Summary: 4 Stars
I am a geek and I like all geekly stuff, at least initially. Even though I am only an average exerciser, I do have all sorts of gadgets telling me that "you are an average exerciser". This scale adds to my gadget collection well. I had previously used Tanita scales before and find their products consistent. If you use these types of monitors regularly, you should be much more concerned with consistency. If you are looking for one-time measurement, the variation of body composition throughout the day will skew the results depending on the time of measurement; but such is the limitation of this technology. However, if you measure daily over a period of time, you can really see the trend and correlate with your exercise levels, eating habbits, etc.
Which brings to my only complaint why this product did not receive a 5 rating. Tanita could had easily increase the cost of memory of this unit by a penny and enable trending. I don't write down my daily measurements so I can only go off memory what my previous results were. If trending is part of this machine, I would had given it a 5.
