Like many people, I have been eating myself out of house and home over the last few months. I’ve put on weight, my BMI has increased, and my muscle mass is softening. How do I know all of this? Because I put on a brave face and stepped on the Withings Body+ Body Composition Wi-Fi Scale.
This isn’t your ordinary bathroom scale. This scale is a smart tool that can help you make better decisions about your health. While most scales just give you your weight, the Body+ gives you several key pieces of data to help you get on track and stay there.
The Body+ lists:
- Weight
- BMI
- Fat %Mass
- Muscle Mass
- Water %Retention
- Bone Mass
I always seem to focus on the first number: weight. But the other information is just as important. When I stepped on the scale I had no idea my muscle mass was so low. I shouldn’t be surprised because it seems like I move from the bed, to my office, to the couch, back to bed on a daily basis. I think one day I counted that I only took 833 steps all day. That’s terrible!
Getting on the Withings Body+ made me realize I can’t continue to be so sedentary. I have to get moving! There are many cool features of the Body+ and one of them is that it’s Wi-Fi connected – so your phone does not need to be nearby during a measurement. Every weigh-in appears in the Health Mate app automatically, via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth sync. With your history available 24/7, you can see what works, reinforce positive behaviors and stay focused on your goals.
Through the Health Mate app you can also set health goals, and track nutrition while it keeps track of your weight. It even displays the daily forecast! This scale is a game-changer when it comes to your health. And it’s just the motivation I needed to start moving again so I have an excuse to get on the scale and see my results.
Body+ is also family-friendly. It supports up to 8 users, has a battery life of up to 24 months, and has a separate Pregnancy Mode to allow pregnant women to safely track their weight. When this mode is enabled, the Health Mate app will provide an enriched experience offering advice, tips, and obstetrician-reviewed information relevant to the current week of pregnancy. After birth, parents can enable Baby Mode to easily track your baby’s weight by weighing yourself on the scale while holding your baby.
