Today, I weigh 183.5 lbs, and this scale helped me reach my goal.  It shows weight, percentage or lbs of body fat, and BMI. Because it&#8217;s WiFi-enabled, the readings are picked up and displayed graphically on my Web page (password protected) at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.withings.com\/en\/bodyscale\/sharing\">their site with the option to share it with other web-based weight loss sites<\/a>. Moreover, I can use the data locally by downloading the readings in a format suitable for a spreadsheet.<\/p>\n<p>I weigh daily, and the graph has greatly helped in my weight-loss efforts. Now I can easily see the trend, which helps manage it. I&#8217;ve had a series of scales that measure both weight and percentage body fat, including a couple by Tanita. As part of my weight loss effort, I did have some professionally administered body-fat measurements, and the Withings readings were consistent with that, within the limits of accuracy with respect to one&#8217;s daily weight fluctuations. If you have multiple people using the scale, it&#8217;s easy to set up multiple accounts (it has a maximum of 8 users).<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"suiviImageTop.png\" src=\"\/wp-content\/archiveimages\/suiviImageTop.png\" width=\"477\" height=\"246\" class=\"mt-image-none\" \/><br \/>\nOne warning: I got a Roku, and in trying to get it set up with my router, I changed from G to N format, and for a few weeks lost readings from the scale because I wasn&#8217;t checking so regularly at that time. I used their support forum to diagnose the problem and reconnect my scale to my router. I would rate their support as excellent: they monitor the forum and respond immediately with answers.<\/p>\n<p>The Withings was the first WiFi-enabled scale I found, and other than my own error in changing the router without thinking how it would affect my bathroom scale (you can understand that oversight, I hope), my experience with it has been uniformly positive. Highly recommended.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wireless weight tracking<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":33,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[43],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5310"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/33"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5310"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5310\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11378,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5310\/revisions\/11378"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5310"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5310"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5310"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
