  • 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!
  • 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…

Try about 5 minutes and check…
  • Excellent point about losing the fat...I have a body fat/weight scale and while I know it isn't exact in measuring body fat, it does let me know when the percentage is going up or down. I think that's what I need more than anything...not so much the lbs as toning up again and cutting body fat.
  • Hi - Just getting started. After keeping fit and at a healthy weight for years, I suddenly got very relaxed this summer and gained 8 lbs...now back to the gym and keeping a food log. I like knowing I can check in when I need lots of support. gymmom P.s. how do I get my ticker on here? think I figured it out...just testing.
