Nowadays, with a lot of people being self conscious about their weights and most of them being in some form of weight management program, some companies are trying to cash-in on the the fade. They come up with all sorts of products and devices that cater to that audience and a French company called Whitings is no different than the rest of them. One of its creations is a Wi-Fi connected body scale called Whitings Internet body scale that can help track and manage the weight of a maximum of to eight people. The scale works as a weight management tool by recording not just your weight, but other information like your lean and mass fat and your body mass index or BMI and automatically send it to different outlets like a free Web site, Google Health, Microsoft Health Vault, Twiteer, an free iPhone app, among others. But if you don't elect to, the flow of information can be restricted to only the people you want to see it like your health care provider.
Each one of the eight people that can be tracked by the Whitings Internet scale, are identified by their weights. The Whithings Internet scale sells for $159 and is available at the company Web site, and at Amazon.com.
