    @bringit2023 Yes, that shot was not fun. Last year Hubby and I did a number of shots. Shingles in July, then Late Sept covid (again), two weeks later flu shot, the two weeks later Shingles 2nd. BTW pharmacist claimed shingles two would be worse. Neither hubby or I found that to be the case.

    @Huango Lovely photo!

    @Itladyee On my post I am getting responses, but as yet, not the info I am seeking. We shall see. But that little travel Renpho is awesome. So glad Pezhed found it. Gotta "donate" my old one.

    @SModa61 my home scale is a renpho scale. I actually trust the navy fat method for determining body fat. Oddly is also shows that my subcutaneous fat percentage as the amount that the navy fat calculates. Day to day there are too many variations for it to be 100% accurate. I also bought the travel scale and will use it (maybe) when I vacation. I have rethought it a bit and a vacation might just be a vacation

    @itladyee i never would have thought that I would be dealing with this knowledge. Maybe if my mother had prepared me I would have thought twice about doing the DNA tests. Probably not though, I am a data, scientific kinda person so the outcome would have been the same. I just was not/am not prepared for the heaviness of the information. It changes nothing & everything. Crazy.

    @pezhed and @lisapower123 I wanted to update you both. So I bought the travel scale that Pezhed mentioned in round 223. As you may of may not know, I am pretty nuts in my scales. I own three identical (one at each residence), that have been checked against each other, and years ago I verified them against the uber expensive scales used in the numerous WW centers I worked in.

    That said, I put the Renpho travel scale through its paces. First out of the box, of course I did not read instructions. I put the batteries in and stepped on it. Yes, it was off. Well, if I read the instructions, it tells you to calibrate (very easy) any time it is moved. Anyhow, scale then was an exact match. I used for a few days, and then took it to Maine and used there (verified against that scale), and then brought it back to Mass last night. It is very well matched, and easy to use. I am excited. I will have to be smart on my packing for Scotland so that I make sure I fit it in my suitcase. :)

    I am also having fun with its other data which you can only get if you sync the app. Not fully sure what I think of that data, and will be doing some research on this. I do have my Dexafit data from a month ago, when I was nominally higher in weight, and there are differences. I'll be looking into the significance. I just put up a post seeing what insights the MFP community might have for me. If you are curious, or even have opinions, here is my very new post: https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10892602/dexascan-and-renpho-what-do-i-trust/p1?new=1

    @SModa61 I use Renpho at home. I didn't read the directions but I do tap my toe on it about 2 times each side to zero it out each time before I step on. Does that calibrate it or do I need to do something different? Thanks for the info.

    @deepwoodslady for mine, you press on it until you see some numbers. take your foot off and "CAL" will appear followed by "0.0". it is then re-calibrated.
