Body Fat Scales - ThinnerTimes

Harleykitty · 07-02-2008, 06:34 PM

I was just wondering if anyone out there has a body fat scale and how accurate do you think it is. Has anyone had their body fat monitored the correct way w/ that little tool thingie that pinches you and if so was it close to what your scales said. I have a body fat scale and I was just wondering if it's correct or not.

Mine measures Body Fat but I don't know how accurate it is. Would be interested to find out.

In San Antonio, Inside Outside Wellness Center has a computerized machine that will perform a BMI by scanning your entire body and then calculates your BMI. Prior to doing the scan, he has a set of scales that will weigh you and calculate the BMI as well. The scales calculated my BMI at a couple of points higher than the body scan. The good thing about the body scan is that it will calculate the muscle weight in your body as well. I had the scan about two years ago and then at week 4 after the surgery. It was amazing how much of my weight loss was muscle and not fat. I knew that the body would take muscle first until you offset it with Protein and exercise. Now I have the test recorded and will go back in another 3 months to see if I have stopped losing the muscle and an truly loosing the fat now.

That is all quite very intresting. I wish I knew of some way I could get my body fat checked that made me feel more confident than my scales. Just so I know for sure
