I’ve recently come across BodyTrace, a nice way to combine a bathroom scale that wirelessly uploads and displays your weight & BMI and an online site where you can track all the changes with visualized solutions. You can read the whole story from the first idea on the blog. An excerpt from the description:
We are using the GSM network to transmit your weight to our Website. We use these measurements to create weight and BMI charts and by combining this information with additional data that we collect (from food tracker for example) we can better evaluate your progress and give you feedback on how to reach your goals.
They also have a collaboration with DailyBurn.

Kind of expensive. $60 to 130 per year?
I just bought a scale for $40 that doesnt do anything.
$60 is pretty cheap actually…
Innovative method which will give users the motivation to stick to the healthy ways of living.
