New update on bath scales

by kamille at 11/30/06 1:36PM
I wasn't sure where to put this so I've put it on several groups' sites. Does anyone have info on the bath scales that not only show weight but also body fat, water, etc.? Do they work good? I know you put the info in them & they remember up to 4 people. Any certain store to buy them at? Any particular brand over others? Thanks.

PS
I have looked at 1 or 2 of these. The one brand had a label on the box that said if you had body implants, such as a pacemaker, etc., youu shouldn't use them. I have rods, screws, hooks, etc. in my back & didn't know if that would matter.

    I worked at Brookstone and they had a really good one.

    I like to think my scale works. My husband says it use a bioelectrical pulse to measure the body fat, hydration, and bone mass. So...I guess it works. I notice I have a higher BMI on the scale than if I used the typical equation. And I have also noticed my BMI come down since I started working out regularly. I got my scale through AVON since I am a representative and got a great price on it. However, I have seen similiar scales for cheaper than what AVON sells it for.

    The problem with pacemakers is that any kind of electrical disruption can interrupt their pacemaking capabilities! Rods/screws/etc may or may not make a difference, but I bet they're a different density than the rest of you.
