Not a GREAT tool, but good for the home and accurate enough for the price.

When I used to have to cut to 189 for wrestling I would make sure I was 191 at home because I would weigh in at 188.8-189.0 on a more accurate scale.
I try to weigh myself at the same time with the Tanita scale.

I've been researching a few of the other guys in my bracket and plan to go up there with a notebook and notes on everyone our guys are fighting. Knowledge never hurts!

I get a little amped up when I start looking at the other guys... and I had a dream last night that I did really well in my first fight, so it seems as if my subconcious is starting to believe! Haha

Got my first "KO" on a guy last week. Perfect hook to the liver, dropped him like a sack of rocks. If I've learned one thing... tough guys can shake off most head shots. NO ONE can shake off a solid liver shot. Those SUCK and will disable you. I now focus on the body. :D
Yeah the good old flu weight loss program. It's as good as my Bronchitis ab workout.

I have never been able to shake off a head shot so well. But my liver is shot if that counts.
