Withings WiFi Body Scale, Black from Amazon 136.87 (or 134.99 from 3rd party vendor)

I've been looking at the Withings WIFI Scale for about a year for health purposes. I wanted to track my weight and lose a few pounds and having a device to track it would mentally help me with my weight loss, but at $159.99 I decided I didn't need it that much so I kept track of my weight via a spreadsheet and entered the data every morning after I weighed myself on my $20 scale. Sometimes I would forget to input the weight even after i weighed myself because I was late for work, for example.

I tried entering my data into Garmin connect and loved the graphic feature, but that soon became old. I needed an automated way of doing it. I noticed that Tanita Scale supports Garmin connect, but it's about $200 and comes with no display.

Today I noticed the Withering WIFI scale is $134.99! I also noticed a new competitor to the scale called the Fitbit Aria Wi-Fi Smart Scale at 129.99. After much hesitation between the two I bought the Withering scale for $134.99 since there seems to be more support from 3rd party websites for the Withering scale.

I know, the extreme SD guys will say what does this scale buy me compared to one I can get for $20! It's a WIFI scale and that's about what they cost now a days for a high quality one. If you're serious about losing weight, a scale like this is a tool that can help you keep track of your progress and can be a good motivator.

Since I'm from CA I chose a 3rd party vendor and got free shipping with no tax (fulfilled by amazon via BostonSeller1).

Correction: Amazon's price is actually 136.87. 3rd party seller (BostonSeller1 has it for 134.99). Updated the title so I won't be accused of being misleading .
