We bought a Tanita scale (back when DH was making millworker money) that measures fat percentage, muscle mass, calculates metabolic age - very nifty! We both realize that it is probably not an accurate measure of fat, but that by consistently using the same measuring device we will at least see if we are moving in the right direction....

The entry level models were pretty affordable (of course we got the next to highest model available) and there are few brands out there.

I think it's a great measuring tool and intend to use it this winter training, which started today with snowshoeing and the objectives setting will happen tomorrow starting with measurements and scale info.
