Just found this funny and thought I would share. Has anyone sat down at those scale/bodyfat/blood pressure machines at a local grocery store or pharmacy? I tried one out and had great results! according to the machine my BMI is classified as Extremely Obese yet my Bodyfat % results were a fantastic 8%. Not sure whether to continue my diet now that I've found out i'm extremely obese or end my diet and try to figure out why I can't see all my abs at 8% body fat. Yes, this is sarcasm as I wouldn't put my current progress in either obese or 8% body fat. I also know these machines are generally useless. They really should remove these machines though and just stick with Blood Pressure. Anyone else have fun results with these things?
