    A few pages back I posted a link which works it out based on body measurements. I've got some scales which work it out by sending an electric current through your body. How accurate? Who knows, but as long as it is consistent in its inaccuracies, it should be good enough to pick up the general trend.

    I use them as well, but there is a slight problem. The minute electric current will follow the path of least resistance so doesn't measure your upper body (just goes up one leg and down the other). If I balance on the scales with one hand and one leg I get a reading a few % different from standing normally. Not a major flaw but still....

    DT gave me a skirt for Christmas. It was too big so he sent it back and ordered a size smaller to replace it. I got the replacement today......I've lost some lard and the smaller one is as big on me as the original :w00t::thumbup:

    I haven't seen that low "walking around" (i.e. other than after long/dehydrating runs) since my early 20's
    ever onward...

    Just felt a little flutter in my tummy. Pre-weigh in nerves or too much fruit?
