PRODUCT REVIEW: WEIGHT WATCHERS BODY BALANCE BLUETOOTH DIAGNOSTIC SCALES WW910A

I never really make any new years resolutions, because frankly, I rarely keep them. But to be honest, after two kids, and spending months in a hospital with our little boy, and following being more or less under house arrest for another year, as he had no immune system, so too dangerous exposing him to the world - this year I do have a mission to be a little more active, and while I've been very fortunate and lost more or less all of my pregnancy weight, I still wouldn’t mind shifting the body balance a bit and toning up. And that's where the Weight Watchers Body Balance Bluetooth Diagnostic Scales comes in.

The Weight Watchers scales are so different from any other bathroom scales that you have ever come across, as it has so many incredible features. The scales are so easy to use and it can help you reach your health and fitness goals.

You see, you can hook your Weight Watchers Body Balance Bluetooth Diagnostic Scales up to the free Weight Watchers Scales by Conair app, and connect it via bluetooth, and is in that way able to keep track of your health and fitness goals and hence keep you on the right track.

The app gives you in-depth charts and graphs that are easy to understand, and includes all the information you want, including;

• Body Fat - the percentage of body fat your body contains compares to your lean body mass - a too high fat percentage increases the risk of health related issues such as heart disease, high blood pressure and diabetes
• Body Water - the total amount of water in the body - a good hydration helps regulate body temperature, eliminate waste and improves overall health and feeling of well-being
• Bone Mass - the amount of bone mineral in bone tissue - as you get older, a decrease in bone mass could result in weak bones more prone to braking, so monitoring is essential
• Muscle Mass - total weight percentage of muscle in your body - healthy muscle mass is important for reducing body fat levels, increasing metabolic rate and accelerating the output of energy/calories
• Body Mass Index (BMI) - provides general indication of one's health factoring in both the height and weight of an individual - being within a healthy BMI range reduces the risk of health-related problems such as high blood pressure, stroke and diabetes

And the app doesn't just show you everything at a glance, it also gives you small badges along the way as you reach your goals, as a way of encouragement, and you can also share the data to other apps including Apple Health, Google Fit and Weight Watchers app, and similar apps too, to make tracing even easier and more fun too.

I also love that the scales can be used by the family, as it has a 10 person memory, remembering the height and gender for each use with automatic use recognition how amazing is that. It also weights up to 182kgs, and in increments of 0.05kg, so it will automatically track even the tiniest of weight change. Below are some pics of my hubby's weigh-in stats;

And again, the scales are so easy to use. You simply give them a light tap to 'activate', and then jump on, while also opening up the app on your smart phone. And then you wait for a few moments as all the results are sent to the app, and immediately analysed for you.

What's more, the Weight Watchers Body Balance Bluetooth Diagnostic Scales are also so sleek and stylish that they'll look incredible in any bathroom. The top features a Premium Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) coated glass platform that has an elegant lit up blue shade when in use, and it has a large 4.8cm LCD digital backlit display that makes it easy to see the results. And it also comes with a 10 year warranty for peace of mind.

Again, I am, as such not out to lose masses of weight, but rather shift it around a little, get a little fitter and build a bit more muscle mass - but also attempt to drink more water to hydrate my body a little more, and these Weight Watchers Body Balance Bluetooth Diagnostic Scales will help me do that, while giving me a better perspective of what is happing with my body along the way, and not to mention will keep me motivated as I achieve my goals.

So all in all, I am really super impressed with these Weight Watchers Body Balance Bluetooth Diagnostic Scales, and I just love how I can now be better informed about what's happening within my body.

If you're on a mission to be a little healthier, lose a little weight, or simply want to get to know your body a little better, then I highly recommend that you check out these Weight Watchers Body Balance Bluetooth Diagnostic Scales.

SALON REVIEW: HYPOXI - TARGETED WEIGHT LOSS - FINAL RESULTS

Have you been following my journey through HYPOXI? If not, I suggest you check it out here and here.

As most of you would know, I finished the ‘course of treatments’ just over a week ago, but a house move and not being able to connect to the internet has sadly delayed my final post with the final results a little…. But before I reveal, let me just quickly run you over what exactly HYPOXI is…

 

HYPOXI is a targeted body shaping program which works to increase blood circulation, accelerating fat metabolism and detoxifying the connective tissue especially targeting stomach, hips, legs and buttocks, - or in other words, those areas women are always complaining about.


You do the treatments in high tech looking workout machine, and due to a sore foot, and not wanting to put too much pressure on it, I’ve only been using the L-250 where you basically lie down pedalling, while your lower half to be enclosed in an airtight vacuum alternating pressure chamber during the exercise. In this chamber, the therapy is applied to stimulate circulation in the problem areas, in order to remove fat and toxins from the stimulated tissue. The result is slimmer legs and a more tuned buttock!





The L-250

And in spite of being quite unfit, not having done any exercise since before getting pregnant, and now only going for walks with the pram and the dogs, the 30 minute exercise is easy as, and while I do manage to work up a little sweat, it is in no way strenuous.

I did a total of 14 sessions, although 12 is the recommended minimum to achieve some results. I’ve been doing on average of three 30 minute sessions per week, and throughout the course you are measured and weighed to ensure you are on the right track.

effect when you're in the machine..

As I mentioned in my previous posts, I am aware that I have not had a lot of weight to loose, getting back to my pre-pregnancy weight about 8 weeks after giving birth, and now back in my old clothes sizes 6-8, so consequently I have not been expecting to see huge results and loss of weight and centimetres. What I was hoping to see was a more toned buttocks area, something that years at the gym hasn’t managed to shift..


After the first three sessions, I had lost a total of 4.5 centimetres from my thighs, bum and stomach… Wow!! After sessions I’d lost a total of 10.5cm, and after 9 sessions I was down 12.5cm.


And how did I the final results look… well, they really seemed to accelerate in the final week, so while I did not lose any weight - but again didn’t really expect to, but actually I seemed to gain 400gms during the course - but as you know, muscle actually weighs more than fat, so it may just be that I've actually built up a bit more muscle tone too during the treatments (that's my excuse anyway, LOL!). And in spite of this small weight gain, I've actually lost a massive 20.5cms. WOW.

 

The breakdown of my final results are:

Weight:              +400gms
Waist:                -2.5cm
Stomach:           -4.0cm
Hips:                 -2.5cm
Bottom:             -3.5cm
Legs:                 -4.0cm
Relaxed leg:       -1.5cm
Contracted Leg: -2.0cm
Knee:                -0.5cm

Total centimeters lost: 20.5cm


I was quite happy with my body size and shape before starting the HYPOXI, knowing well that I shouldn’t complain having been so lucky to lose all my pregnancy weight, and without really trying or exercising to achieve it. But to lose 20.5cms of those dreaded areas in just over a month is just so much beyond my wildest dreams and expectations. I can both see and feel the difference, and my clothes just sit so much nicer. And this result was achieved without making any major change to my diet, as I am fairly healthy as it is (apart from when the 3 o’clock cravings set in!), and I did not do any other exercise during the program apart for the usual short walks with the pram and the dogs.

 

 A course of 12 HYPOXI sessions is unfortunately a little expensive at $690, but when you see results like that, it proves that it really is an efficient and sure way of toning your body and finally once and for all shift those love handles and the saggy bum and floppy thighs.


And the owner Janna and the lovely Alicia at Berwick HYPOXI made the whole experience so much fun and enjoyable. I wish I could continue with these treatments for further results, but sadly my income as a stay-at-home mum (read lack of!), sadly means that it is a luxury that I cannot afford. But while my derriere is still tight, I say bring on summer so I can show off my new body in some skimpier clothes..
