Well, for the curious, my new scale arrived on Friday. I've been tracking my weight each evening since then. It has a 550 lb capacity, and I actually like the "voice" feature that tells me my weight instead of me having to try and look. The scale is also much larger than a regular bathroom scale, and feels more stable. I've been between 436.2 and 438.4 over the past four days.
