    No idea if its any good but at £12.99- I'd be sceptical.

    Doubt it, but might pick one up as it will save me using the Wii.

    To be honest no stand on body fat analyser is that accurate but they can be great tools to be used alongside scales and the measuring tape

    Saying that I would have no concerns about it being cheap and from Lidl because that is what they do. I bought my chest strap HRM from Lidl for £12.99 and I was told not to get it because of the price. It has a 3 year warranty and when checked against a friends more expensive model it gave almost the same reading.

    I say for the price go for the scales/BF analyser I really don't think you have anything to lose just use it as one tool in your armoury

    I bought one of these... It's no wonder I struggle to lose weight as I appear to total 122.8% of a person...!

    I bought one just because I was fed up with using the wii. It gives me my weight and can't be bothered with all the other bits lol

    TBH that's why I bought mine - I was completely cheesed off with the Wii telling me I'd not lost my 1lb in two weeks when my (completely naff) BMI had decreased because it wasn't taught fractions... But it won't let me lose less weight over a longer period as I am "overweight!" Stoopid contraption!

    :ohwell:
