Okay, I don't own a scale, except one of the little ones to weigh food. Truth be told, I hate them and believe they are all liers.
So the other day, while I was trying to find a Crystal-proof pedometer (still looking) I bought a new gadget. It's a body fat analyzer, and calculates body fat % in a few seconds. It is made by Bell, the same maker of helmets of all things. And it has memory for 6 people. I spent $15 on it.
So far, it is accurate, and the reading jibes with the scale from the fitness office at school.
Body fat % is different than a BMI, because the BMI is just another scale... But best of all, with a body fat % of 42%, I'm overweight and not obese!
