So we have decided to purchase a new bathroom scale. The one i have came from england and i think i paid the equivalent of like $20 for it, so its nothing amazing and i swear it has a mind of its own.

I have a budget of about $40 to spend on a new one and id like one that measures body-fat and is as accurate as possible .

Any-one got any links to any? Ive been browsing eBay and found some cool ones but i don't know if all they gizmo high tech talk is necessary.

NEW GLASS BATHROOM SCALE BODY FAT WATER MONITOR SCALES - (eBay item 220153318786 end time Sep-28-07 12:04:55 PDT)

this one seems ok... i think?

the scales that measure body fat are inaccurate... don't waste your money on it... it's really not worth the bells and whistles...

ohh ok then, i was just curious as to how my % is changing over teh course of my program.

So only the hand-held ones are accurate measures of body fat?

You can also get calipers pretty cheaply that also measure...

okay ill have a look out for one then

so which is better a digital scale or one that has the dial thingy. Im just looking for any improvement on my crazy scale

I think it all depends on how you like to weigh - I have a digital scale that measure in 10ths of a pound and that absolutely drives me nuts -I always round up to the highest number...

a lotof scales are alsoreally sensitive... keep it in one place on the floor at all times - mark the floor with a piece of tape if you must - my scale moving can change the weight by a few lbs and not always the direction you want...

Also take measurements at frequent intervals -that's a better indication of progress than nmbers on the scale...

okay awesome

thanks for the input mal
