Wishlist: Withings WiFi body scale.

So today's post is actually from something that I saw a while back while reading someone else's blog and it came again to the front of my mind yesterday when I saw it in person..... well the box that packages it that is.

So as you've probably realized by now, yes that is a scale and yes I'm getting excited about it.  First off it looks absolutely amazing, at first I thought I liked it more in white, but I really wouldn't mind either color.

Yes that is an iPhone that you see on top of the scale and yes it does look that nice.  The cool thing about this is that because it's got wireless connectivity (hence the WiFi in the name) anytime that you step on it, it will automagically send this info and keep it private and you can track everything, no need to go weigh yourself and then throw it into TrainingPeaks (what i'm doing right now).  Really it comes down to me being lazy and working awesome like that. 


The thing is nice, integration is done well, iPhone, iPad, Andoid, internet etc.  It allows you to track weight, fat mass, lean body mass and bmi (Which I'm not a huge fan of, but nice to have).  This allows you to track all these things that are important and relatively easily to boot.  Plus it looks awesome, may have already said that once or twice. 

You can also set goals for yourself, and keep track of that with pretty much no effort at all. 

So I guess yes this scale isn't neccesary, and it might be a little more than what people would normally pay for a scale ($159) but I think it does a good job of measuring what you need, and packaging it all together to just work.  It can allow for up to eight users to be on this single scale and keep track of all of that just by looking at weight, keeps it all private from other people. 

Here's a video from the company that explains all that I just said in a cool snazzy looking video.
