I like the Renpho ES-CS20M. Very reproducible weight and it
changes when you add something small in your hand like the
cellphone. Loads the reading into your smartphone and tracks that.

Some of the feedback on Amazon that it does on a battery
change is a bit of a worry but most dont seem to get that
and I havent change the batterys yet and its covered by
the warranty if that does happen anyway.

Do you want any of the bloated features beyond displaying your
weight on a screen?
If you want more, that should be your guide.
One thing I discovered too late is that your scale
should have a display big enough that you can read it without
your glasses...remembering that you'll have the same scale
20 years from now and your eyesight probably won't be getting
better.

My $2 garage sale scale displays all manner of crap like BMI.
Why do I care? For most of us, the scale does one thing.
It tells us to put the padlock back on the cookie jar if
the number is too big. Having a BMI graph on your
iPhone is worthless if you can still access the cookie jar.

There's a marketing opportunity. A scale that has the cookie
jar attached that won't open if you're too heavy.

BMI is certainly a metric. Good to know it once. Once you know it,
weight is sufficient for management.

I suggest that a blood test for sugar and cholesterol might be
better indicators overall. But you can't normally get those from
a bathroom scale.

You're wrong, because morbidly obese BMI precedes

Ideally, all should work to keep their waist measurement less than half that of their height.
For example, a 72 inch tall person should keep their waist less than 36 inches.

I use a physician's balance beam scale. It does nothing fancy, and weighs only to the quarter pound. But, the battery never dies, and how much precision do you need? Your weight varies all day long with fluid intake and output, meals, exercise, etc. Weighing to the ounce or gram is just silly. You're insisting on decimal points for a weight that varies slowly all day and night long. Which one is your real weight?

The common advice to weigh once a week is silly too. That doesn't avoid the individual variation. You'd be mathematically correct to weigh every day and calculate a 5 or 7 day running average. By the central limit theorem cell means are normally distributed so you could do statistics.

Yes, but its useless if it doesnt give the same weight when
you weigh yourself repeatedly and fakes that by deliberately
showing the same weight unless there is a big change in weight.

I use a physician's balance beam scale. It does nothing
fancy, and weighs only to the quarter pound.

So isnt much use if you are trying to work out what meals
produce a net weight gain and which ones produce a net weight
loss and whether exercise does help with your weight loss.

But, the battery never dies,

I change the battery so rarely that I much prefer a quicker scale.

and how much precision do you need? Your weight varies
all day long with fluid intake and output, meals, exercise, etc.

Thats why you weigh yourself at the same time of time,
ideally just after you get up and after the first **** of the
day, wearing the same thing every time, what you sleep in.

Weighing to the ounce or gram is just silly.

Not if you are working out what meals produce a net
gain and whether exercise does help with weight loss.

You're insisting on decimal points for a weight that varies

You dont need the real weight, its the weight change that matters
and trivial to ensure its done with a fixed config every day.

Yes.

That doesn't avoid the individual variation. You'd be mathematically

I like the Renpho ES-CS20M. Very reproducible weight and it
changes when you add something small in your hand like the
cellphone. Loads the reading into your smartphone and tracks that.

I'm of the opinion that a high level of precision is unimportant on a
scale.

Yes, but its useless if it doesnt give the same weight when
you weigh yourself repeatedly and fakes that by deliberately
showing the same weight unless there is a big change in weight.

I use a physician's balance beam scale. It does nothing
fancy, and weighs only to the quarter pound.

So isnt much use if you are trying to work out what meals
produce a net weight gain and which ones produce a net weight
loss and whether exercise does help with your weight loss.

But, the battery never dies,

I change the battery so rarely that I much prefer a quicker scale.

and how much precision do you need? Your weight varies
all day long with fluid intake and output, meals, exercise, etc.

Thats why you weigh yourself at the same time of time,
ideally just after you get up and after the first **** of the
day, wearing the same thing every time, what you sleep in.

Weighing to the ounce or gram is just silly.

Not if you are working out what meals produce a net
gain and whether exercise does help with weight loss.

You're just incredibly stupid, even for a troll. Tim is right. You're
not going to determine which meals produce a net gain, whether exercise
helps, by looking at gram or ounce changes in your weight. You can't.
You need to maintain a diet and check after a week or two, at which point
Tim's doctor type scale is perfectly adequate. And anyone who's been on a
diet and monitored their weight, can tell you that your weight can go up or
down by a pound or two or more, seemingly randomly, while you haven't
changed what you eat or the amount of exercise. And then suddenly after
your weight has been staying the same, it will suddenly be a couple pounds
less on a day when you measure it. I've gone for several weeks, the scale
registering the same weight, then suddenly two pounds lighter one day,
without changing anything. And then it tends to level off there again for
some period. Thinking you can weigh to the gram and figure out what's working
is totally nuts. I've never heard such BS.







You're insisting on decimal points for a weight that varies
slowly all day and night long. Which one is your real weight?

You dont need the real weight, its the weight change that matters
and trivial to ensure its done with a fixed config every day.

More BS, as anyone who'd dieted would know.




The common advice to weigh once a week is silly too.

Yes.

That doesn't avoid the individual variation. You'd be mathematically
correct to weigh every day and calculate a 5 or 7 day running average.

Or have the scales do that for you.

By the central limit theorem cell means are normally
distributed so you could do statistics.

Much more convenient to have the scales or the phone do that for you.

Much easier to just focus on the longer term, a week to week timeframe,
as Tim said and no need to average anything. The more complicated you make
it, the more likely people are to fail. Most diets probably fail because
people have stupid expectations. They put 30 pounds on over 5 years, then
expect to lose it in a month and thinking that they need to and can track
in by the gram is equally dumb. First week the BS numbers don't seem right,
they quit and it's back to the old ways.

If you want more, that should be your guide.

One thing I discovered too late is that your scale should have a

big enough that you can read it without your glasses...

Not even possible for me, it would have to have
the screen inches from my nose to do that.

remembering that you'll have the same scale 20 years from now and
your

But if it loads the weight into your phone and the

My $2 garage sale scale displays all manner of crap like BMI.

Mine too.

Why do I care?

So you know that you are morbidly obese and you need to
stop shovelling so much food into your mouth every day.

My experiments suggest that, for my scale, the BMI number is more
dependent on how moist your feet are than how fat you are.

Then you now know why someone binned it and got $2 from you for it.

The BMI mine says I have is just what I calculate from my height and
weight.

For most of us, the scale does one thing. It tells us to put the
padlock
back on the cookie jar if the number is too big.

And the BMI is the best measure of too big.

BMI is certainly a metric. Good to know it once. Once you know it,
weight
is sufficient for management.

Not if you are trying to get back to the best BMI range it isnt.

I suggest that a blood test for sugar and cholesterol might be better
indicators overall.

You're wrong, because morbidly obese BMI precedes
the fact that its killing you showing up in a sugar test
and if you have enough of a clue to fix it, you wont
in fact end up with a bad sugar test.

What moron needs a scale with BMI to tell that they are *morbidly* obese,
moron?

Yah, look down and if you can't see your toes ya might have a weight

This from the terminal ****wit that couldnt even
manage to work out what the gross income of a
sole trader small business operation is.

I know exactly how income is reported from a small business. Let's
recap, shall we? Fretwell proposed a new tax of 2% on all incomes.
He can explain how it would actually work, but from what he said,
it sounded like an additional 2% tax on adjusted income across all levels,
including those who are currently paying no tax. You then made the stupid
claim that it would unfairly hit small businesses and be applied somehow
to their total business revenue, not the profit. That is not how it works
today, nor has it worked that way in the past. If a small business that is
not a regular corporation has $300K in revenue, $250K in expenses, only
the PROFIT, ie $50K shows up as unadjusted income, on their tax return.
That is what flows into their INCOME stream, not the ridiculous $300K.
And that's where Fretwell's new 2% tax would apply, presumable after the
usual deductions and arriving at the TAXABLE income. He was not proposing
a business revenue tax, fool.



Tim is right.

Nope.

You're not going to determine which meals produce
a net gain, whether exercise helps, by looking at
gram or ounce changes in your weight. You can't.

Wrong, as always.

Provide us with any links to substantiate that you can analyze a
person's weight down to the gram and determine what the effect of their
last meal or two was on body weight loss or gain. You can't because it's
just another dumb, Trumpian style lie.






You need to maintain a diet

Not possible for most. Makes a lot more sense to work
out which of the meals does produce a net weight gain
and what sort of exercise helps with weight loss and
stop eating those particular meals.

You should patent your new diet, call it the moron diet.





and check after a week or two,

And the single random time of day weight then will mean **** all.

As Tim tried to explain to you, people's weight varies by time of
day without regard to what they've eaten. Do you crap every day at
the same time? The same amount? Pee exactly the same amount down to
a gram. Just how ****ing stupid are you?





at which point Tim's doctor type scale is perfectly adequate.

Even sillier and more pig ignorant than you

You obviously know less than nothing about dieting and weight gain or
loss.




I've gone for several weeks, the scale registering
the same weight, then suddenly two pounds
lighter one day, without changing anything.

Because those scales are useless.

That's BS, it's not an issue with the scale. Most people who have dieted
know that weight loss isn't linear, even when maintaining the diet.
You can go for weeks and not lose anything, then suddenly drop.




And then it tends to level off there again for some period.

Because those scales are useless.

It's your bird brain that's useless.




There is no way that if you keep eating and drinking
and identical diet each day and do the same amount
of exercise each day that your weight can randomly
vary by a couple of pounds.

Of course there is. How about one day you don't take a crap?
Another day you drink more water. And people don't eat exactly
the same thing each day when on a diet fool. We aren't cows.
If one day the food has more salt for example, even though it's
not related to body storage of fat, has no calories, it can cause
you to temporarily retain a little more water, so you're weight
goes up, but it has nothing to do with gaining or losing real weight,
losing or gaining fat storage.




Thinking you can weigh to the gram and
figure out what's working is totally nuts.

How odd that those who need to control their
