Keep on top of your fat

First to go come winter: my exercise regimen and resistance to the seductive allure of the doughnut. Just to scare myself straight, the Personal Body Fat Counter might be a good investment. After placing your thumbs on the counter, a bioelectrical signal calculates your fat-to-muscle ratio in less than five seconds. That, along with data on your weight, height, age, and sex, is enough for the Counter to pop out your body-fat percentage on an LCD screen. And your family and friends won't feel left out, since it can store data for up to six people. It costs $30 and comes with a carrying case, two button cell batteries, and no sympathy for your sagging love handles.
