Please give me some advice on wifi scales!! I was looking at the Aria by fitbit and the Withings scale. I want it to measure BMI, Body fat and weight (obviously :-) I can't decide which is best. I was looking at the withings scale and read that there may be an update soon so then I started looking at other brands. I want to get a fitbit this spring when the new one comes out and measures sleep (hopefully I will make it that long) so the Aria seems to connect with that?!?! They aren't cheap so I want to make the right choice. Thanks SooOo much for your help!!!! :wink:

    I use Withings and I love it. It syncs with My Fitness Pal and other health sites like Body Media. I haven't tried any other scale. Good luck deciding!

    Thanks!! That was my first choice, but then I read where it does not read body fat?? Do you know? Do you feel like it is pretty accurate?

    It does give me my body fat percentage and my bmi in addition to weight. I think the body fat percentage is a little high compared to being measured with calipers. But I'm not really stressing over it.

    I use the Aria. I love it. It works nicely with fitbit. I would recommend it. I've been measured with calipers and a DEXA Scan. I find that the fitbit is accurate enough to easily measure whether or not you're making progress. It works perfectly for that purpose. It's also great that it works so well with the rest of the fitbit site easily allowing me to check progress and see where I'm at. I love the fitbit and its integration with myfitnesspal. It adjusts my calorie intake based on my activity level for the day. That's a big plus for the days I bike commute. I wouldn't wait to get the bracelet. Get the fitbit one it also tracks sleep. You're a not always going to want to display the bracelet. The fitbit one is small enough to be hidden on a bra or in a pocket so you'll wear it every day. Not so with a bracelet. My guess is that you wont want to wear a bracelet with a cocktail dress or to a wedding etc.

    Thanks so much, so the fitbit one does track sleep??
