Using a full bridge weight sensor (Load cell) with 430F2013

I need to use a single full-bridge weight sensor (5Kg) and was wondering if I can just measure the load using the differential 16bit signature-delta converter in the 430F2013 directly without external amp? I /don't/ need great accuracy or resolution (128 levels would be plenty). Looks like the output impedance is just over 1K.  The application includes to weigh a bottle (& its contents) to determine if 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 and full - the installation will be calibrated with an empty/full bottle so absolute weight is not needed - just relative to max/min. I've picked up on the F2013 as its available in simple packages that I can solder and has a differential AD - if there is a more suited product please advise.

Thanks
