For those of you who use this scale for determining if you are too fat, please don't! I just read an article (http://cnsnews.com/news/article/65781) where the Federal Govt will determine grant money for the program for childhood obesity based on BMI. When I calculate my BMI it is 26.1- Overweight!!! They say that 24 is too fat. I am around 12% body fat.
When you measure if you are too fat...Do just that!!! Measure your body fat. There are many means to do this by; calipers, scales, hand held and, the most accurate is water weight. BMI is a lazy persons way and not accurate.
