Withings has just unveiled their latest product — a Wi-Fi-enabled scale. Aside from calculating your body weight, body mass index, and lean and fat mass, it’ll also Tweet the results for you.
Now why would you want to Tweet your weight details to the rest of the world? Well, research has proved that the more closely you keep track of your weight loss (or gain), the more likely you are to stick to the program and actually achieve your fitness goals. Sort of a Biggest Loser kind of psychology.
Of course, you can choose to have the Wi-Fi scale on its own without the Tweeting capability — it’s actually only an option you can enable to help you stay on track. When you have a permanent database of your progress that could stretch into years, it can be a powerful tool to motivate yourself — and your followers, if they’re on the same fitness boat as you.
But you might want to avoid the Tweeting aspect if you’re on your fitness regimen on your own — otherwise the number of your followers will drop with your pounds
