by I can’t believe I found this device today. It was total kismet and just what I needed to kickstart my New Year’s resolutions. The pandemic has not been kind to my waistline and I promise to finally take care of it. I wasn’t even looking for it this morning, but when I opened Amazon, this smart measuring tape from Renpho jumped out at me because it knew I needed it – and it’s on sale for only $25.

Why is it a good deal?
If you’re like most of us, a new year means a fresh start on our health goals. Getting the right tools to help us achieve those goals is essential, and this tool can give you the right motivation to achieve those goals.
Why do I need this?
I’ve mellowed a bit over the last few years. I won’t tell you how bad it is, but I will say that my slouchy ’90s jeans aren’t very sleuchy anymore. So for my New Year’s resolution, I decided to at least try to get back to my mid-pandemic weight (my pre-pandemic weight is a bit too ambitious). As part of my resolution, I brought up dessert (I love dessert) and ramped up my workout routine (I don’t love working out). I’m doing great and feeling great, but the number on my scale isn’t much smaller. My exercise routine is tough, as is no sugar, so you can imagine how disappointing it is to see the number remain the same. I couldn’t find my tape measure this morning, but I found this one – and it looks pretty promising.
This is a retractable tape measure, but it also has a small hook on one side so you can accurately measure the circumference of your waist, arms or thighs without the help of another person – that’s a big deal for people who lives alone.
The measuring tape also connects to an app that tracks your measurements (if you have a Renpho scale, you already have the app). If you’re serious about making changes, seeing the progress you’ve made can be really helpful. Remember that muscle is heavier than fat, so even if you’re not gaining weight, you may be getting fitter and losing inches instead of pounds. It’s also fun to watch the numbers go down.
What critics say
This gadget has almost 16,000 five-star ratings – and they said everything I needed before adding it to my shopping cart.
“It solves a big problem most people have when measuring their own body: reading the tape accurately,” reported a rave reviewer. “The ability to tie the end of the tape to an anchor point and then pull it back in until it’s tight is important because it’s not easy to do with paper or fabric tape. I’m happy with this measuring device but on the simple fact. it makes it easier to get accurate measurements.”
“I’m trying to lose weight and I love how this product makes it so easy to measure myself without help,” shared a five-star fan. “It keeps track of my phone so I can easily look at my previous measurements. As a bonus, I can add a lot of profiles to my phone, as a seamstress it’s great to be able to have my client’s measurement profiles on my phone.”
“I rechecked with a ‘regular’ tape measure later and the measurements were the same,” wrote another happy shopper. “I love it so much I talked my sister-in-law into getting one too.”
“I am very happy to be able to measure myself on a long weight loss journey that I am starting,” gushed five star fans. “I had no idea what the measurements were and was embarrassed to ask a friend to see those numbers. The only downside for some is that the tape only goes to 60 inches. People probably won’t get more out of this purchase until they lose. That said, I think this is a revolutionary tool for the health conscious. Combined with the Renpho scale and the app reaps the most benefits. I’m happy that I bought it!”
