Abstract
An apparatus for weighing a person having an inner mast attached to a base and an outer mast slidably disposed over the inner mast. A platform is attached to the outer mast wherein the platform accepts the feet of the person. The apparatus includes a load cell attached to the inner and outer mast proximate the top end of the outer mast such that when the person stands on the platform the platform transfers the weight of the person from the outer mast to the load cell such that the person's weight can be determined.
