Get a bathroom scale (read all 4 entries…)
My geeky side is lovin' it! 3 years ago

In addition to weight, this scale measures body fat % and body water % (to make sure you are properly hydrated). I’m not taking any actions to change my lifestyle at this point, but I’m looking forward to tracking this information (maybe even making little graphs in Excel if I really have alot of time on my hands).

As of now I am just squeeking under the line in the healthy range, according to my new scale.

P.S. Note to feminists, sensitive guys and all body-positive crusaders who don’t know me yet: I love my body just the way it is (and so does my partner) and this isn’t about shame or guilt, it’s about being proactive with my health.

Darn

I would Love to own such a thing, but I am afraid it would allow me to become very OCD. I already weigh myself every time I am at work, sooo, Better not add to the obsession.

"Little ups and downs are normal. Little ups and downs are normal"

I can see how that would be hard for some people. I have never owned a scale before so whether I can own a scale without obsessing remains to be seen.

Percentage of my body weight that's water right now:

48.7%

(which apparently is at the low end of healthy and normal)

Off to drink some more water!
