Athletic? Hmmm. Time to send pictures.

The Tanita's athletic setting reads about 7-10% less than the regular
adult setting. Doesn't your WW scale have an athlete setting?

No, it was cheap: $40. Thanks for the info though. The 'athlete' does not

apply
to my husband, but I might be close with 10+ hours excercise per week
(weights/cardio).

I think "athlete" is based on percent bodyfat, not how much you work out.
I also work out about 10 hours a week (biking alone is near 8 hours, and I
lift weights about 3 hours/week), and I'm no where near an "athlete" as
per Tanita.

I hear you. I should have clarified that according to Tanita, the athletic
setting on the scale should be used for people 'involved in intense physical
activity of approx. 10 hrs per week and has a resting heart rate of approx. 60
beats-per-minute or less.' I don't consider myself comparable to a true
athlete, even though daily excercise for 1 1/2 hour does build some muscle.
