Most people keep their weight secret. But you might do a better job keeping pounds off by letting friends and family “monitor your progress.” The Wi-Fi Connected Body Scale will track your weight and body-mass index, then transmit that information to “Twitter, Google Health, Microsoft Health Vault,” and other sites. Privacy settings can be adjusted should the diet go awry.
