   I was so excited to get this scale in the mail. I hate to write a bad review of it, but I was really disappointed. First of all, it’s kind of large. Secondly, it’s a little confusing to use. But my primary problem with the scale is that the batteries run out literally every other week. Way sad.

   I was really excited to use ths scale. It promissed a great deal of fetures and all kinds of measurements of your body. However when I finally got the thing from the mail, it couldnt even manage to give me a reading on my weight. I literally spent a few hours trying to figure out what could be wrong not believing i got a super scale that didnt work. Maybe i got a defective one, but i was very disapointed and got my money back.

   I have had regular bathroom scales; I never thought it would be worth the money to have something that did all the stuff this does. I was very wrong, and for several reasons.

   *First, you get what you pay for and this one is very durable and sturdy. Most of the “spring” types fail within a year and are wobbly or feel off. This one is like standing on a brick, so it feels solid and there are no moving parts.
   
   *Second, their instructions actually inform you about weight loss and showed me that there are reasons for all the other numbers and how they affect me. BMI, HYDRATION, MUSCLE MASS, WEIGHT
   
   *Third, this scale was very motivational because it always showed improvement, in small increments most of the time, but better than the wobbly scales that seem to stay still or have eratic results.

   I have been using this scale for about 5 months now, every day and night. It has helped me understand several things, like drinking coffee and how it changes the weight through dehydration and not loss of fat percent. It will show you this, and muscle mass too. So if your strength training, and trying to loose fat, you will see the weight and those other numbers to determine how your actually doing.

   I always hear; “Muscle weighs more than fat, thats why you don’t see the loss.” Well, now I see what is actually happening and it wasn’t muscle, it was that I needed more cardio. Now I am loosing pretty well.

   This scale is like a personal trainer, if used with some motivation.

   Oh, and by the way, I have the same batteries in it as I did when I first bought it.

   I Like it a lot, and it looks nice.

   I have some serious questions as to the validity of the privious two reviews before mine (26Sep08):
   
   1) Battery Life is great; 5 months and I am on the original batteries. I use it about twice per day.
   
   2) The instructions are in plain English, and another language actually; the scale is easy to use and setup. You will spend about 10 – 20 minutes learning and its done forever. Your friends will ask questions, so help them out – once.

   I bought the scale a few weeks ago. I was very exciting when it arrived (fast). It was very nice-looking; the glass surface was large, perfect for my boyfriend whose shoe size is 13. The set up was pretty straight forward, especially if guided by the menu. It measured weight, body fat, water percentage, etc.
   
   However the second day because I didn’t step on it when it was ready, the LCD got messy. I tried taking out and putting back the batteries, it didn’t help. I tried to push the buttons to reset. I held them for a few seconds, then it seemed working.
   
   After that, the scale has been perfect. I guess the LCD display of my particular scale is not that stable.
