What Is The Best Scale/body Composition Analyzer?



Recommended Posts

I got sleeved on 5/30/12 and bought a lovely scale (Beuer BF66) to track my weight-loss, bone density, Water, etc., but it was recently damaged (thanks to our upstairs neighbors flooding our apartment) and needs to be replaced. Even though I loved it, Bed Bath & Beyond doesn't carry it anymore for a quick buy, so now I'm looking into other scales that measure everything. I still have a high BMI of 32, so it can't be for the next Iron Man or anything. I'm looking into the Omron HBF514, Seca 804 and browsing into Tanita scales. Any insight would be helpful! Thanks!

I'm going for the fitbit and the Fitbit Aria wireless scale to sync with myfitness pal.

None of the home units are particularly accurate, I wouldn't spend the money.

An affordable commercial option you could do once or twice a year is the BOD POD: http://www.cosmed.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1262&Itemid=310〈=en

I have one similar to this one. It shows the same bodyfat % as my doc ofc scale. Mine shows I've gone down from 43% to 27%. Even if it's not 100 % accurate. It still motivsting and shows its going DOWN. ;)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
