I want to get one of those scales that tracks your weight and measures approximate body fat. For example: http://www.healthometer.com/productdetail.asp?id=97

There's a Target real close to me but like every single scale that's on their website is listed as not available in stores. A scale is not such an exotic item that I shouldn't be able to find one that is physically located at a store. Any idea where might actually have one of these things in stock for me to purchase today?

 

Have a Brookstone in your local mall?

 

If by local you mean 74 miles away according to the Brookstone site's store locator, then yes. h:

 

i got mine at linen n things i think
one of those scale + body fat indicator, with like settings to save for like 4 people

 

Tanita makes awesome scales.

Try this

 

are those body fat percentages accurate?

 

Funny you mention that.

I went to Bed Bath & Beyond and picked up the money top-of-the-line Tanita.



It reads weight, body fat, body water %, bone mass, and basal metabolic rate. It also tells you how many calories you would need to eat to maintain your current weight so you know how much you should undercut that by.

The good news is I'm down 7 pounds in the last 3 weeks. Still got a long ways to go though...

 

You spent way too much on a fuggin scale. h:

 

how can that scale measure all that stuff? :eh:

 

I have a bunch of weight I need to lose so I figure this is money well spent. :dunno:
Apparently those metal pads send a low-level electric current through you to do the various non-weight measurements.
