Reinforcement seems to be vital. With my current scale, I eventually broke down and wrote a script to display graphs of the moving averages of the high and low, since the numbers themselves didn't really mean anything to me. Clunky, but similar to the graph you displayed (it did work).

Thanks for all the information. I'm debating whether all the features are worth the price, but it is the kind of thing I want.

I did something similar with Excel the first time I seriously tried paleo. After manually updating it religiously for a while I thought 'someone should make a WiFi enabled scale that automates this process'. Fortunately someone did :)
