Sorry for the late entry...I took a red-eye flight from Vegas arriving this morning at 700AM. I am way too old to do this anymore!!!
We were meeting with a large medical device company that is launching a body fat measuring scale that is incredibly detailed. This device can measure lean muscle mass, body fat and other parameters segmentally in different parts of the body. A detailed report accompanies this. The machine is being retailed to doctors at close to 5000 dollars! (For that amount of money I would hope they include free AA batteries!)
Often, the weight on the scale does not tell the entire story. We have a number of patients who notice a marked change in their clothes fitting yet the scale weight does not change siginficantly. Sometimes, as we lose body fat, we build muscles mass, and as you know, muscle weighs more than fat.
We will hopefully be getting this new monitoring device so we will be able to measure your lean muscle mass, body fat etc. at your visits. Here is the great news..no extra charge!!! I will let you know when we get the machine in and we are trained on it. (Hmmm..maybe I am sleep deprived and offering free stuff!!!)

I was surprised when I started the program that measuring inches with a tape measure and monitoring the loss of inches wasn't part of the plan as that is pretty typical. Perhaps something to consider going forward with the program.
