A scale that measures your body fat...SWEET

bump! I'd love to know too! I have to pay $10 to get mine measured at the gym, makes more sense to have something I can use at home...

I have a Tanita scale and it can vary so much that I find it virutally useless. You do set it for your sex/height. The degree of hydration will make it change by sometimes 5-6% so that in the morning when dehydrated it reads higher. Also there is an 'athlete' setting and a regular. My manual describes athlete as at least 10 hours per week of vigorous activity. I'm likely somewhere in between and when I measure between the two modes it will vary as much as 10-12%. So depending on time of day and which mode I use all I can say is that I"m somewhere between 21-33%..........not too useful. So I pretty much just use it as a scale. It might be OK for trending IF you used the same setting, same time of day, hydration status etc. Don't say this to discourage you but I haven't found it all that helpful.

I have a weight watchers scale that gives fitness level, %water, %bodyfat, etc........it's great, only 40$.......I'm telling myself it isn't accurate though, as it isn't giving me readings I like

I had a Tanita scale like that several years ago. It was very tempramental. It sometimes worked, other times it would give an error reading, changed batteries, still not very good. Weight fluctuated wildly minute to minute by as much as 3 pounds. I could also get different weights by standing on it differently. I wouldn't waste your money. I bought a triple balance doctors scale that can be calibrated. Now I know my exact weight down to the ounce.
