Default Tanita scale

Has anyone used this scale to measure their body fat? ( I'm not really sure I want to know what mine is! ) and which model? I would buy one if they work.
Thanks

Hi there Aileen,

You might be interested in this former thread: Body fat Scales: Are they worth it? Lots of reading there!

Cheers!

Mine is the cheaper model (although not cheap) that does not remember your body fat. I use it from time to time. It has a weigh only mode as well. Make sure you keep a few things in mind:
keep your feet clean and free of calouses since it conducts the test through your soles and monthy body fluctuations can affect the readout. Your bf % will be different depending on how much water you are retaining and how soon it is to your period.
When I first used it, I got very depressed since my BF is almost 1/2! But after the initail shock wears off...

I like mine, but only when it tells me good news
