I saw a scale in an e-mail I received but can't find it. I think the scale will measure correct portions based on your weight and how many lbs. you would like to lose. Does this ring a bell with anyone?

Hello.......It is a very nice scale, however, the minimum scale is .2 lb........Example: .2 - .4 - .6 - .8 - 1lb - 1.2 etc. etc. Hope that helps! Neil

Look at research , it speaks on this matter. It prob also depends on how much you need to lose. It's not a fix all for sure. I saw weight but i still had to work for it. I think it enchanted my results. You may want to pair it with something.

Hi Anita!I did not keep the scale, I returned it, because it as NOT accurate. I compared the weight and body fat to other scales I have and use and it was off so it was of no use to me.However, from my recollection, it does NOT tell you how many calories to consume to maintain your weight.If you are interested in knowing that you can go to www.myfitnesspal.com or Calorie Counter, they are apps you can download to your phone or programs you can monitor via your computer. You can input your ideal weight and it will tell you everything you need to know: how many calories to consume as well as carbs, proteins, etc.Good luck!

Yes, but most people don't want to calculate this stuff and, honestly, do you really want to know. I've option to not have it tell me and I'm in decent shape. The BMI is based on averages and, thus, really isn't all the accurate. This scale, however, does exactly what it's supposed to and the app works very well for tracking. As a plus, I need to track the weight of my 70+ pound labrador. It's easy to have the app open and pick up the dog and have it read the weight onto the phone. I can then put the dog down and weigh myself to find out her weight quite accurately. Finally, it's very miserly with batteries. I've gone over 18 months on a single set.

I don't know how to answer this question because my son put my height and my weight in and I am person #1 on the scale. All I can say is look at your manual and maybe it will help you set yours.

I thought I like the scale but it is seeming to be inaccurate. I step on in the morning same time get one number. I try a few minutes later different number..third try is really ridiculous

I can't help you. I didn't keep the scale. Maybe the brochure will tell you.

I think it does. I had to input my weight when setting it up so I figured it was to calculate calories lost.

I just did a test with a lb of butter. If you have it set to oz it will remain on oz and give you a reading in oz (16 oz) You would have to switch the units into pounds to get it to register in lbs. I am loving this scale. I have even tested it on products that list serving portions weight and it is right on the button! What I love is being able to figure calories by weighing in grams and then multiplying by a "calorie factor" listed in the booklet. You can truly monitor your calorie intake doing this. Your reading will depend on where you have set the units of measurement. If you have set them at oz. they will read in oz. (even over one pound). To find the measurement in pounds you would have to set the units to pounds. It DOES NOT switch from ounces to pounds when you hit the one pound mark ... it will read 16 oz. Hope this clarifies.

In my family, I'm known as the Amazon.com Queen ! I buy allot from Amazon and for the most part very happy with everything. But to answer your question, No, I'm not too happy with this scale. I can get on it and it says I weigh "###" then step off of it and back on it and it says I weigh something completely different, so I decided NOT to weigh myself. I know if I'm losing weight if my clothes get loose and I need to buy smaller sizes ! Hope this answered your question. Have a good day !

I have found that the actual weight does show up, if you have set up the app correctly. I also have lbs gained and lost.

I think it is excellent for inches lost - we should not jump on the scale everyday, eh? Also, if you read my review, you would have seen that it does miracles for my sick and ailing body - most recently - kidney failure, liver damage, and pneumonia for which i was hospitalized for many weeks. the doctors are calling me their "miracle child' because i did not sustain permanent damage and am already out of my wheelchair (and on the walker) in only two weeks. My physical therapist taught me my homework on it and i feel so much better. i suppose it has much to do with your willingness to put in the work and feel better. i could care less about wearing a smaller dress size - i like me the way i am, but i am very happy to lose a few inches. good luck!

I don't know that it would be accurate enough for a postal scale, depends on how small. I'd look for a food scale that goes up to the lbs you need but that will do ounces for small packages. Most bathroom scales are not accurate under like 20-30 lbs.

Hi Debra, I'm sorry but I ran into the same problem. You would think that with all the option's available on the scale you would think that you would be able to switch between pounds and kilos. I guess we'll have to learn metrics, sorry I couldn't help.
