This may be a bit of fun, but I find it hard to take seriously when it
tells me I have 23.8% bodyfat. I notice it doesn't ask for your
height. Can't work out what has caused it to give such a low figure -
do my 6.25 inch wrists cancel out my 41 in hips and 24 in thighs?

ah ... in given your numbers you got, then how did I come up with
30.5% with my 37" hips and 23" thighs and 5.25" wrists...


I just got 22% with 38.5" hips, 21.5" thighs, and 6.25" wrists.

How reliable are those Tanita scales that measure bf? Going shopping for
kitchen & bath and thought I might splurge on one. I have a lot of loose
skin on my arms and belly - would calipers still be reliable given that?
