Zero scale versus Quantum scale (or none at all?)

I blogged about the Quantum scale previously.  I loved the idea of a scale that just tells you how much weight you are losing rather than the actual number.  For some reason, the numbers just don't suit me.  A day can be ruined just by getting the "wrong" one.  No matter how much I'm told that it's just a number, it doesn't stick.  It always means more...and it's never good enough.
I've tended to lose weight/fat before by focusing more on clothes or measurements until I felt I was in good enough shape to cope with the number.  I'm so out of shape at the moment that I don't even want to look at the tape measure numbers.  I also need to lose a good bit so that it would take weeks before my clothes would feel looser.  It's hard to keep motivated.
The Zero Scale seems like an even better prospect than the Quantum scale.  It has the same idea-tells you how much your weight has changed.  It has the added functions of supporting multiple users too and a guest function which will show the actual (evil) number too.  This sounds far better to me-it's a scale you could continue to use for maintenance once goal was reached.  It also just looks like it's a better product.
I have been super impressed by the customer service they offer.  I emailed to ask about shipping to Canada and got an incredibly speedy response.   The director went to the trouble of investigating it himself and getting back to me.  The customs and shipping bring the price up a lot but I'm still seriously considering the purchase because it's a great idea and I now believe in the company too.  Quantum scale, on the other hand, eventually answered my latest email after many ignored ones.  They're geographically closer, but much further away from my idea of customer care.

Isn't the zero scale pretty?  All nice and shiny?

Meanwhile, I've been back on the "diet" for the past week or so.  I haven't been strict at all really.  It's been more of an easing into it which seems to be working.   I reckoned I could either be really strict and potentially give up, or start moderately and gradually remove things bit by bit.  First steps were switching to salad with chicken for lunch and to raw almonds for snacks.  Continuing in the gym.  More about that later!

Soprano XL-update again!

I've been the world's worst blogger.  Should have updated forever ago.
So...the experience with Soprano and Bellair Beauty Bar has been a bit mixed.  The girl currently at the Yorkville location is fantastic.  I really like her and she seems to genuinely want me to have good results.  The first few sessions weren't quite as fun.
The sessions haven't all been completely pain free.  Sometimes it does hurt.  Not terribly and not for long...but it definitely smarts at times when I'm getting my bikini line done.  Underarms are fine.
Results have been mixed.  After the 1st and 3rd sessions I thought I was doing well.  I got lots of regrowth after the 2nd and again after the 4th; although it was finer after the 4th session.  I had my 5th one 2 weeks ago now and I'm noticing some shedding now which I hope is a  good sign.
I really don't know whether or not to recommend it.  I've just had my second last session so it all really hangs on how successful it and the last one are.  At the moment I'm far from hair free.  In a moment of craziness I bought 2 more vouchers with the aim of getting my lower legs done when my tan fades.  I shouldn't be allowed on group buy websites...
