The Program

SCALE INFORMATION

You want to weigh your goal weight 365 days a year, not just when it's convenient. I recommend that you travel with a small lightweight scale. Some are much smaller than the typical laptop computer. It's like packing one less pair of sneakers or shoes. If you pack the scale first, it will fit. If you pack it last, it won't. Yes, many fine hotels have a scale in the room, but it's not your scale. And by taking the time to take your scale, you are taking your weight loss program on your trip. It may strike you as a bit compulsive, but in fact, it's an important commitment.

I like the Tanita and Thinner scales. The toll-free number for an authorized dealer of Tanita products is 888-814-9735 and its Web site: http://www.Tanita.com. Also, Rowenta manufactures scales for people weighing up to 350 pounds. Visit their Web site: http:www.RowentaUSA.com.
