Cal I am interested in your stats for MET's etc. You say you have an armband, how does the armband measure the MET's and steps/calories etc? and how is this information collected and viewed?

Would it be possible to get body fat %

I'd love a program that takes your "fat" photo, with measurements for body fat, and shows how you will look if you increase or decrease it. Would be so cool. Is it possible do you think? I think it would be motivational for many people.

That scale is awesome! I want one! They don't have South Africa on the list :(

They've got the Vatican.

What do those skinny old cardinals want with a bodyfat scale :( Damn.

So they can weigh their alter boys and check they are plump enough?
