Rating: - More Accurate Alternative
I thought about getting this but after reading all the complaints about accuracy I decided to stick to my usual method of measuring % body fat. I use a freely available XLS spreadsheet that automates the Army DA Form 5500 and DA Form 5501 method of measuring % body fat for recruits and enlistees.

Good buy.
Rating: - Once you know how to use this, it's a super easy snap to monitor your own body fat percentage
According to the Omron Fat Analyzer, today I have 23.7% fat and a BMI of 21.4. A card that is included with the monitor says this is on the low side of the "normal" range for a woman around 40 years old (which would be me).
This is my result from the first thing in the morning, after peeing and before drinking coffee. I held my arms at the recommended 90 degree angle, covered the electrodes correctly and didn't wiggle around. This is almost the same as my result yesterday (fat of 23.4%), so I will assume this is near enough to my average body fat percent, and that readings might fluctuate ... Read More

The OMRON Fat loss monitor is a wonderful tool when monitoring weight loss with loss % of fat. This tool is silmilar to the ones used at Bally's Fitness Clubs.
