JUNE14 2006
Weight 135.6
Body fat won't be done this week due to my trainer traveling, and well I am also

Study :

I've also been doing a side study for all of you who want to know continue reading:
So I decided to put the tanita scale to the test just to see how off it was this whole time... When I started April 10th I was 152.4 and "30.2% BF", As of today I am 135.6 and "24.9%". Now as you can see from my pictures there is no way in HE!! I am 25% Body fat. That would mean I lost 16.8 pounds and only 5.3% body fat. Not possible look at the pictures yourself. So if anyone is tracking their body in this way and think for one moment it is accurate you can stop.

Yayyy!! Someone else who's had the same results as me!! I have one of those scales too & it's about the same "way off" as yours......but not everyone believes how off they are.....I don't even look at the bf% anymore....

treil - tanita scale measures bodyfat a COMPLETELY different way from calipers. Further, it has the ability to "measure" accurately, i.e. to 2 places right of the decimal, however there are so many additional variables that go into that measure that is becomes almost meaningless if you are trying to make even any relative comparisons -- your water composition can vary soo much from day to day, hour to hour even - if you are takign 2 different measures to get a delta of change, you'd have to be very careful about measureing under the same circumstances - e.g. right when you wake up w/ no additional water consumed yet, no am cardio, etc. The whole thing about "no way are you 25%" -- its irrelevant if you are tryign to compare to a caliper measure or what we in fitness normally refer to when we talk about competition bodyfat. It just isn't.

Sorry for the little rant - but its just not even worth talking about because that same response comes up & its absolutely not measureing anythign remotely comparable to caliper measures. Just want to be clear. Its not that its "inaccurate" - its just not a measure that can be looked at or compared to a caliper measure or really as a change in bodyfat comparison.

Rant away dear Well I did take it the same time every day upon waking... I understand though what you mean by a different measure.

I'd like to put a BBer on one of those things with a caliper test around 6-8% and see what it says........just for shits and giggles.
