Body Fat Scale

gymmom

I am seeking input on accuracy of bodyfat scales in general. Does anyone have a scale and has compared w/ tests from gym or other location? My scale seems accurate in weight, but never really changes the fat. I DO lift weights and do cardio and can see the body/muscle changes in the mirror, so some fat must be going!! Any thoughts?

I have one, and although I have lost 50 lbs since I purchased it, it still reads the same body fat%. I think unless you go really high end on that, they're pretty inaccurate.

It reads "30%", but when I was tested a few months back, I was between 22-25%.

Way to go w/ your weight loss!! Thank you so much for your response...very reassuring. I'll get to my gym and have them test to...at least another benchmark to compare!
