    My daughter gave me a gift card to Amazon and I am in the market for a new scale that gives more information than just pounds. There is such a variety of scales out there that I was hoping someone could give me their opinion on ones they've tried. I'm looking at the $25 range but can't imagine how anything that inexpensive could be accurate on 13+ different body readings. I'm tired of focusing on the lbs. and am looking for more ways to monitor progress, such as measuring body fat, BMI, etc. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

    December Week 5 - Thurs, 12/30

    Track: No
    Calories: Over
    Exercise: None

    I had pizza and breadsticks for dinner. I came to the mountains from Charlotte for the weekend, and getting in late, wanted something easy to eat. I now remember why I don’t eat pizza, little to never. I feel bloated and just “ugh” after it.

    Well done !

    Thanks! I did not believe that I lost over 3 pounds last week but today the scale confirmed it. :)
    I'm also starting to notice calf muscles, hip bones and ribs. And this is sort of funny but my but no longer touches both sides of the bathtub. Lol!

    What I call NSV you getting it girly!🤩🤩

    Sorry guys. Been MIA. Last week my son was sick, he’s feeling much better now. (Not Covid very bad tonsillitis- ran a sorta high temp 7 days straight every thing they tested him for came back neg). And then Christmas came. I hadn’t realized how this year the holidays were going to affect me. (Mentally) but I am ready for tomorrow and to start the new year right. Spent the last couple days getting my head straight.

    Happy happy new year everyone.

    Hi @gjaholy33 Thank you for the note. This group has been great, but I'm going to try Fit2Fat and see if that's a better fit for me. I am dedicated to losing the weight so that is not the issue. I'm looking for a bit more interaction. I like that they have a spreadsheet that I can track 5 goals for the month. I'm going to try that, along with posting every day and weekly weigh-ins. Happy New Year everyone. I wish you all the best and success with your weight goals.

    @gjaholy33 Thank you for the link for the scale. I just saw it now, but yesterday I actually ordered a Renpho Body Fat scale that a couple of other people had said they liked and it should be here on Tuesday. But I appreciate your taking the time to attach the link.
    I hope you're feeling better by now. I'm sorry you been having so much pain.
    AND congratulations on a fabulous weight loss this year! That's quite an accomplishment!!

    December Week 5 - Fri, 12/31

    I need a pick me up. Might make my low-sugar chocolate pie tomorrow (sugar free jello, Cool Whip, low fat milk, and graham cracker crust). Betty White passed this morning, and I was in a fog most of the day. She was one of my favourites. I’ve already this year lost two older adults close to me, along with Prince Philip (I really liked him and Queen Elizabeth - couple goals right there). I just feel numb. I will cry my eyes out when the Queen passes.

    Track: No
    Calories: Way beyond my normal.
    Exercise: Wanted to go walking on a rail trail I like when I come to the mountains. Woke up late and late start on errands. That combined with rain meant it was too dreary and dark to walk. Hope to do so tomorrow.
