Digital body fat scales?
UM how are they suposed to tell you're body fat by you're age and height. It dosn't give you a choice to ask weather you are small boned, muscly, big boobs, large head lol? So how does it tell?

- I am 9st 11lbs.... 5ft 7in and my body fat scales tell me i'm obese LOL
- It goes by the resistance of the electric current through your body. It assumes everyone is average. Mine does have an athlete mode. My ex bf had the same problem cos he weighed a ton as hes a body builder. Its only a guide, but there are better measurements out there. I think waist - hip ratio or something is the in thing to use now.
- there is no such thing as Big Boned,every bodies bones are the same, only longer or shorter. these scales work by transferring one of those weight-charts you see on the doctors surgery wall, to a read-out that anyone can understand. i prefer the chart; you're either under-weight, normal weight, over-weight or obese or clinically obese.
- Don't waste your money on these gadgets. The hype only generates more sales, especially after Xmas.
- i believe we are a nation that is gripped by weight.if your cloths fit you,you are eating healthy,drinking plenty of water,and exercising well then hey you are doing all the right things.these gadgets i find are a total waste of money.we all need abit of fat.and the older you get and with the homones all over the place,it just gets harder to tone up,we have to work harder.#forget the scales and if you are happy,then carry on with your life honest hun,i use to weigh every day,and realized my life is zooming past. good luck
