...Yes but it doesn't have sugar, and I hear it tastes like 
chicken :)

Hey Nave,
If you are disciplined enough to only weigh in the scenario, and it 
doesn't destroy your moral, and is actually helping you, please use 
it with my blessing and admiration... we wouldn't want you to become 
a boiled frog, no matter how tasty that might be...(this reminds me 
of that weird movie the Triplets of Bellville)
My scale was not one of the more accurate ones like you mentioned, 
but basically, it's presence seemed to loom over me at all times, 
and I felt very stifled when it didn't show any progress...
Pear, Apple, or Coconut...If you measure the same area and don't 
suck in your gut, and pull to tightly on the tape, the measuring 
tape is great... It will show whether or not your body is shrinking, 
no matter what kind of fruit you resemble...
It was nice to hear your thoughts, and hope you are faring well :)
Peace & Boiled Frogs
