Some people don’t own a scale and I understand their reasoning. Scales can be your enemy but I really don’t look at it that way. I look at the scale as a tool to help me live a healthy life.

Growing up we had a scale in our house and I never feared it. I’d get on and except the number. The scale doesn’t lie. For most of my life I never had to worry about that number either and I’m thankful for that, but there did come a time that I got on the scale and I wasn’t happy with the result.

From that point on, I worked until I got where I wanted to be and proved to myself that hard work pays off and you really can do anything you put your mind to. The scale proved to be a useful tool in helping me achieve my goal and the results that I wanted.

I was asked to review the Beets Blu Scale and I didn’t hesitate to say yes.

I already had a great scale at home but I do use one and I use them with my clients so why not test out a new one?! This scale intrigued me for the pure fact that it registers your body fat. To me the body fat percentage is the most important number. Yes your weight is important too but that number doesn’t show you how much muscle or how much fat you have.

When I saw this on the product information I was anxious to try it.

Here is some of my feedback:

Beets Blu Scale Review 

Why do I need Scale?

Beets BLU Bluetooth Scale is a simple device with an elegant design dedicated for monitoring your
weight, fat percentage, body water and muscle mass. The scale is helpful in forming a habit of measuring your body in the simplest way ever.

• It performs the most accurate weight and BMI measurements.
• It uploads the data wirelessly via Bluetooth to the native application or to many other fitness and health applications.
• It helps you to analyze the data and choose the most apt way to track your weight loss.

Pros

• I love the sleek look of the scale
• it’s lightweight
• easy to use
• there is an audio feature from the app that tells you your stats

• it logs your numbers and compares your weekly and monthly scale results
• the app is easy to set up and you can store multiple users

Cons

• The only bad thing I have to say about this scale is that my body fat percentage was off a couple times. One reading said 20% and another said 5.4%. I knew my body wasn’t at 5.4%. I just had a baby and I had some extra fat hanging around if you know what I mean!!

Besides that, I love the features and the product!! This will definitely be a tool that my family will use on a regular basis. I think Marc may like it the most, he’s used it way more then I have

To find out more details or to purchase the Beets Blu Scale for your family the Beets Blue Scale is available through Amazon.com for $59.95.

We all have got on a scale before; whether it is at the Doctor’s office or your own scale at home. Sure the scale tells you how much you weigh but what does that number mean to you? Does it make you happy or does it make you angry? Are you are closer to your goal or was the number not you were expecting?

Plain and simple weighing yourself can be awesome and it can also suck!!!  (excuse my language)

I use the scale for different reasons, but try not to get hung up on the number. Sometimes I use it to make sure I am eating enough calories to maintain my weight and other times just to monitor it. For the most part my weight stays within a 3lb range and that is usually contributed to my water intake while exercising.

Here is an example of how the scale can be AWESOME:

Each week during my pregnancy with Ava I weighed myself to keep track of my progress and make sure I was gaining the appropriate weight. Gaining too much or too little can really effect the growth of the baby and my main goal was to stay healthy and on track. I’m sure other women who have had a baby can relate, it is definitely weird to see numbers on the scale that you have never seen before!! As the numbers steadily increased I knew I was accomplishing something with each pound that I gained. This made me feel good about the NUMBERS on the scale.

Many of us have examples of how the scale can SUCK! Our main example would be if you get on it and it says a number that was higher then what you expected or not as low as you wanted it to be. This is where the scale can be your enemy.

As a trainer and someone that helps people get fit and lose weight, I believe the scale is a great tool for tracking progress. It will show you that your diet and exercise is working and whether you are headed in the right direciton. It can also show you that maybe you are not doing enough!

However, there are some problems people face when weighing themselves frequently. One problem is the scale DOES NOT show you how much muscle or fat you have. (Muscle weights more than fat, and if you are gaining muscle through training, the number may not drop as much as you would hope).  The scale can also cloud your thoughts if you get on it and the number isn’t what you wanted to see. While it is hard to do at times, try not to let the number depict how you are feeling about yourself.

What does the number on the scale mean to you??
