WTF Oh great. I just signed up for a 16 week healthier lifestyle change thing.

[thintoast]

So I signed up for this thing. It's called Prevent. It's designed to make me choose better eating habits and make lifestyle changes so that I don't get type 2 diabetes like pretty much everyone else in my family. I'll be a part of a group thing, with a health coach and all that. Hopefully I'll get the kick in the pants I need to actually eat vegetables and go out and exercise every day. We'll see though.

The cool thing is that it's all free through my health insurance. I get a scale, a pedometer (no, it doesn't count how many times I look at kids throughout the day...) and the time from a nutritional coach that is supposed to help me get this thing right.

We'll see how this goes. Yikes.

So now that I'm signed up, I find out this scale is linked wirelessly (I'm assuming through my wifi) to my account. Therefore I'm guessing the people in my group will either be able to see my weight or at least see the progress I'm making.

What kind of scale?

 

[thintoast]

IDK. It doesn't say. It's digital to 0.1 pounds apparently. And it looks like the info the people see is presented in a % instead of an actual count. So they won't be able to see the weight.

 

[thintoast]

It looks like this...

 

[thintoast]

I hope it doesn't turn my toes pink...

 

[thintoast]

or orange or whatever color that is...

Manly chick feet.

That is pretty cool.

Yeah. I thought so too. It'll be neat to actually see a measured and calculated trend in my weight over a long period of time, without me having to write it down and shit. I'm sure the site will graph it out for me.

 

[thintoast]

Manly chick feet.

I know right? had me confused...

 

[Casper]

If those were my feet, I'd almost want to get diabetes so that they'd have to be amputated.

I bet your feet are uglier.

I believe there is a decimal point in there...

183.0

Here's how you lose weight: Stop trying to replace sugary foods with slightly healthier sugary-ish things.

"Hey, I made this pie with Splenda."

"You're fat. Maybe you shouldn't be eating pie at all."

BTW, can we get the URL to your scale too?!?!?!
