Body fat scales. Omg!

[slimsarah]

Just got some ww bathroom scales. My body fat reads at 41%. How accurate are these? I'm still big but I work out alot and that seems awfully high. So deflated. xx

Nearly half of me is FAT! xx

The first time I had my body fat read was when I went for my first personal training session. It was 44%! I weighed 15 and a half stone and am 5'7".

Now that I weigh 13 stone and have been exercising like mad it's gone down to 37% according to the personal trainer's scales. My body fat scales tell me it's 34%.

I think it varies from scale to scale just as weight does. The only way to get a really accurate reading of body fat is with a caliper test.

I'll keep working out and fingers crossed it drops! xx

That's about right, mine's just got under 40% and I have a slightly lower BMI than you.
