hello all
even though i have scale at home i would like o get a more tech one:)
i have seen two different brands that offer a few nice things but i am curious to see if anyone has one of them and how accurate are they
the one is from fitbit and i think it can sync with MFP

http://www.amazon.com/Fitbit-Wi-Fi-Smart-Scale-Black/dp/B0077L8YOO


both track your weight and also body fat percentage, lean mass etc etc etc

have read some reviews and people seem to have issues connecting them to their smartphones via wifi
the good thing with these scales is the fact that you can have all your data synced immediately to your device and keep a nice record

what do you think?
\does anyone have any scales like that?

    I don't have one but I want one. The Fitbit and Withings ones seem to be well loved. I'd probably get the Withings since I'm a little tired of Fitbit's mediocre support and web site issues, after 5 years of using Fitbit products.

    Do you have a wireless network at home? If so, the scale will synch to your apps through that.

    I think the body fat readings are almost useless, except as a broad trend analysis tool (am I going up or down over many months).
