Weight Scale that instead of showing your current weight it tells you how much you lost or gained since your base recording. 

Well, I was on a diet and my son William noticed I had lost a lot of weight. He suggested that I should get on his scale to see how much I had lost, believing that this would spur me on, and help to keep me going. I flatly refused, because I hate getting on a scale.  And so my son began nagging me (like all sons do) which didn’t work either,  even after I stressed that he  didn’t understand how awful  and overwhelmed I would feel when I saw how much more I had to lose.  He thought for a moment and said “mom what you need is a scale that never displays your actual weight only loss or gain”

This was the moment that set the wheels in motion, the development of Quantum Scale patents, and trademarks etc. The name Quantum and Quantum theory is important as this stresses what is so important in the journey of having a successful diet, that one is positive and stays motivated. Seeing is believing, our brain craves positive feedback and seeing only positive -5 or -8 rewires our brain to help us to believe weight loss is possible .The 60year onslaught women have had to endure and live up to is staggering , the ultra thin Hollywood standard has had a catastrophic effects on our mental well being because this is where women have been taught their self worth lies, with these three numbers on the weigh scale thus the fear, dread and shame that has been internalized by them for countless years.

I like the logic and the objective of this product. I want to buy it! You know...this is a great product especially in areas where time is of the essence. For example, I had worked in the restaurant biz for many years and very few times assisted inmore carrying in products from delivery trucks...I remember 2x...I can 'estimate' that the load was off by at least a 5-10 lbs. but with the rush...there was no scale available. The products were pulled to the side...this put every party involved late or delayed...about an hour later I was right...BUT this wasted time. Also, in the prenatal i.c.u. where ounces/lbs. are crucial to life and time to calculate can be saved.

Just connect and create with this tube and sphere playhouse toy. With EZ-Fort, build a fort, a playhouse or that super special hideaway.

Perfect size for inside or outside play!  The EZ-Fort components are just the right size for small hands to connect and create.  Just add a sheet or covering to complete the special design.

Each EZ-Fort 54 piece kit comes with enough pieces to build plenty of creations. Thoroughly safety tested, EZ-Fort is a smart building toy with endless possibilities.  Each EZ-Fort 54 piece kit comes with:

20  - 2.5" diameter spheres
20 - 24" tubes
14 - 17" tubes 
High quality storage box
24 page idea book

I invented TOOBEEZ, the big brother of EZ-Fort back in 2001.  TOOBEEZ is like giant tinker toys.  

The EZ-Fort idea came out of wanting to create an affordable fort, or playhouse building toy.  I want this product to become the brand standard in fort building…in-line, and next to the free cardboard box, and or the traditional sofa / chair fort.  You know how parents just love it when the furniture is re-arranged!

Inventor: Joe Donahue

Joe Donahue is the manager of day-to-day operations and the person who originally conceived of the Toobeez brand. TOOBEEZ means tubes + easy.

Joe had a vision to create a life-sized building toy for families to play with to help reconnect with each other. It took four years of business planning, market research, manufacturing trips, endless conference calls with engineers, designers and patent attorneys but finally on September 21, 2003, the Toobeez product was born! 

Often referred to as Giant Tinker Toys, Toobeez is a life-sized construction building system comprised of interlocking tubes and spheres that can be linked together to create anything imaginable, from a simple cube shape to a complex structure like a lemonade stand, house, airplane or submarine. Just connect, twist and create!

Initially, Toobeez was sold exclusively to the specialty toy market, but due to its open-ended nature, it didn’t take long to realize the versatility of the product and the many different ways it could be used. 

A toy company that is not in the toy business?  Our products are primarily being used by educators, team building/training professionals, occupational and recreational therapists, camp counselors, Boy and Girl Scout troops, church youth groups and the list grows every day.

There is even a group of forward thinking dog trainers who use Toobeez to create challenging courses for dog agility training (we're not making this up)!

Product has no additional options.

A fort that the kids don't have to tuck the sheets into the rearranged furniture. Great idea.
