(Yes, I am thinking of Funkadelic.) We use a scale made by Tanita to roughly measure relative changes of body fat percentage. Tanita has a bewildering variety of models. I think I spent abot $50.

Good on ya...it's tough to break back into exercise after a while off. I got lucky in that I started running while in NROTC in college, and never really stopped, so I'm pretty addicted at this point. Cardio-wise, I'm in good shape. I did stop weights last summer, though, and I need to get back into that...I'm in the same boat with you there. If I don't make it an almost daily thing, it just doesn't stick. As for the weighing, you're dead on IMO that you're weighing too often. More precisely, the danger is in evaluating it too often. Data is good, but over-analysis will drive you insane. If you weigh in alot, bear that in mind, and just go for the steady reduction. Good luck...I'm here if you want to chat or have running questions (though I'm no expert; I just plod away. *grin*) Email/chat/call anytime. Go, Dave!
