I have mixed feelings about bathroom scales. I go in spurts where I’ll weigh in everyday for awhile, then ignore the scale entirely. Most of the winter I’ve fallen into the latter category.
You’ve probably heard me moaning about how I look in recent race photos. While I think I’ve got plenty of movement in my day, it’s time to be more mindful of what I’m throwing down the gullet…and more consistent with visiting the scale.
Because the universe always seems to give me exactly what I need, the Weightless Scale from Weight Gurus showed up on my doorstep recently.
It can track your weight the normal way, or be kinder and just show you the amount you’re up or down so ‘that’ number isn’t glaring you in the face.
I have to say this scale is pretty high tech. It works along with a free app I downloaded onto my smart phone. I set up my profile, set weightloss goals, and when I step on the scale, the info. syncs to my phone so I can monitor my progress right from there. Now if it would only zip my mouth shut…or hide the cookies.
Stay tuned for more adventures with the Weightless Scale when I go into full-on weightloss mode after Flying Pig this weekend. The scale works with both Android and Apple phones and tracks weight, muscle mass, body fat and hydration of up to 8 different users.
Wanna try this cool scale for yourself? Find it at Amazon.com and Bed, Bath & Beyond.
WIN IT! One lucky reader will win a Weightless Scale of their own. U.S. Residents only please. I received this scale free of charge for review purposes. All opinions are my own.

My biggest tip is to make snack bags for easy on the go or last minute. My favs are hard boiled eggs, nuts and, sliced fruit or cubed cheese. Yum!
Denise G. says
My tip would be water, water and more water. Cut out the soda and sugary drinks. Add fruit or cucumbers to your water for flavor.
Veronica says
I think my best tip would be to make sure there are easy snack and meal options available. I always run into trouble when I limit myself too much especially with my job. I have started keeping Kind bars in my locker and it makes it so much easier to resist the candy temptation.
runinboise says
If I am home, I want to snack. I have to get out of the house more so I am not tempted to munch. My living room is Way too close to my kitchen.
Char says
It’s kind that it has a no-weight option. Does it also have a lying option for those PMS days when you really can’t cope with hearing the truth?
Stacey R says
I wish I had a tip! My weight control is running, have little control over what goes in my mouth.
Debbie @ Healthy Running Mom says
This scale sounds insane! yikes! The best way for me is to keep healthy snacks ready so I don’t put anything in my mouth & to stay out of the kitchen!
Can’t wait to hear about this weekend! Enjoy & much luck!
Linz @ Itz Linz says
preparing your own healthy meals instead of eating out and always drinking water instead of juice or sodas or calorie laden coffee drinks!
Carla says
consistency!!!
Carrie H says
Moderation and preparation are the keys to maintaining.
Robin says
My best tip is find something active that you love doing and eat lots of carrots. 🙂
Jenn says
I haven’t been doing a great job on weight management recently (thank you stress and cortisol), but I am trying to focus on lots of veggies with every meal.
Lanna says
My tip is water, lots of it & healthy snacks- fresh fruit, raw nuts, etc.
Meredith N. says
I’ve never been one to diet. The best tip I have for weight management is choosing healthy food options and daily exercise. You don’t have to cut out all of your favorite foods, you just have to be smart about it. Portion control is huge!
Michelle @ Running with Attitude says
My best tip is to clear out your kitchen/pantry of any unhealthy snacks and replace them with healthier ones — helps cut down on the temptation if the cookies, chips, etc just aren’t available.
Kovas - Midwest Multisport Life says
A scale that controlled the pantry and fridge would be a dynamite product!
Laurel C says
Just eat one ingredient foods! NO processed or artificial stuff
Ginger says
I would LOVE to win the scale! I’ve been looking for a reliable one!
Ellen says
Potion control! That helped me lose 80 lbs. Running helps me stay at a stable weight.
Kimberly @ Healthy Strides says
I have been feeling chunk-a-munk lately, and I want to slim down to get to a “racing” weight. So hard when I love ALL THE CARBS. I’m particularly terrified to get on the scale for fear of damaging my self esteem so this would be great.
I think tracking food is a great way to stay on track. It can be surprising how much one nibbles during the day.
Rachelle Q says
I am scared to step on the scale:/ After I lost the weight during my Dietbet challenge, I think it is all back:( I haven’t been great in the eating department. Time for me to get back on track!
Amber @ Fit Foodie Runs says

Jovan (@jovansjourney) says
Weighing myself every day seems to keep me in check. If I start gaining, I know I need to cut out this or that.
Veronica J says
My tip is water, water, water and a handful of cashews or almonds to curb hunger.

Staying Hydrated is super important, not only is it good for you, but it helps to digest your food and keeps your tummy feel full.

Drinking more water and less soda.

Heather says
My biggest tip is – write down what you eat. Even if it’s not in a calorie counting app, write it down. You don’t have to show it to anyone else but you do have to be honest with yourself.
