Scale Pointers

My Health-O-Meter scale has little colored pointers which slide around the edge
of the dial to mark reference weights. I never use them because they tend to
get moved easily when cleaning. In a moment of boredom yesterday I set one at
my starting weight and one at my current weight. Wow! I know I've loss a lot
but seeing that graphical presentation really was impressive.

Loss another pound this week. Only 4 since last Thanksgiving but the trend is
still down and my body doesn't seem to want to lose very fast anymore. It's a
WOL now for me so speed doesn't matter.

That's one bad thing about electronic scales -- they don't have scale
pointers. Maybe they could do something like my heart rate monitor does --
you enter in your height, weight (age and sex, although these aren't used
in the calculation), and it flashes "obese" at you. Maybe that would give
me more incentive (or more incentive to crush the device?).

We just bought a Taylor Professional at Sam's Club, because we still
haven't found out which box our Tanita is packed in. The Taylor has the
colored markers, as well. It's very gratifying to see the large gap
between starting weight and current weight. And the 5 pound monthly
challenge doesn't seem all that big, because the pointers are quite close
together. I like this scale! I'm going to have a hard time choosing which
one stays in my computer room and which one goes to my SO's computer room.
