I've found it very useful, quiet and discreet. Also nice for days when it's really cold outside, or when I wake up feeling depressed or especially unmotivated to get my butt into workout gear and out the door. It could be useful to you if you spend a lot of time in an office, or have periods where you're at home and have 30m to an hour of random free time but can't get to the gym.\r\n\r\nApologies if this pitch comes off saleswoman-ey, haha!

Also, there are alot of other related subreddits that I find really useful as well. Also, like /u/redrosebeetle said, get a food scale!
