    Just as proof of how rubbish those scales are. I've been at my goal weight since April 2014 (well actually February but I reset it to my stable weight)

    ..my body fat on my scales read 31.4%
    ..in July my scales read 28.7%
    ...yesterday my scales read 21.4%

    My BF is around 23%

    Lies, it's all lies :bigsmile:

    LOL -so far mine is very consistent. I measure it third thing in the morning.

    I wake up eat a banana , creatine shake with 6-8oz water and then I go relieve myself. I come back -take my clothes off and stand on the mighty scale. Consistently dropping lbs and percent. However , I understand it can be wrong and now on I'll just be using it as a way to see a trend-that's about it.

    Also taking proper measurements which are allowing me to see the progress and before after pictures.

    3 inches off belly, 2 inches off waist- and 0.3 inches off bicep (this gave me a mini heart attack) lol

    This is what I got.
