Default Digital Personal Scale - Body Fat + Water Percentage Readings

Hi guys

I've had some problems with my scales - they tend to read the same weight all the time so I've order some new ones are I thought I might share where I'm getting them from:

http://www.dealsdirect.com.au/p/digi...tage-readings/

I should get them in the next day or two and I'll let you know what they are like - but hey, for $29.95 can't really go wrong!

Cheers
Irene

Hi Irene.
I have the exact same scales!
They do vary quite a bit in weight though.

For some weird reason they won't weigh body fat% and water% at the moment?
When you get your instructions (can't find mine) can you let me know how I fix this problem?
Comes up "ERR2"

Err2 usually means it can read the impedence Shell. I get it on mine when I have something on my feet (water, stockings etc) ..... or I am wriggling and fidgeting on the scale.

I'm having the same problem with my scales - Tanita - every time I step on them I get a different weight. I've taken to just accepting the one which comes up the most often!

I just ordered new ones using my points from my credit card - they are supposed to measure weight, BMI, hydration, muscle mass and bone density!

We shall see how we go.....

Weight: Woah!!!
BMI: Cannot compute multiple numbers
Hydration: You are not a camel
Muscle mass: Sorry you have no muscles
Bone density: Sorry, you have osteoporosis

Thanks Connie,
Mine don't work unless you do have a bit of moisture on your feet??
I updated my age (from a few months back!) & since then they have gone on the fritz!
Maybe they don't like seeing my age either!

yeah I know .... it has happened since I got a massage on Wednesday ..... so some aspect of my skin has changed or something weird .... I am like 28% body fat according to my scales ( and my mums as well) but on monday I was 20% ..... I think I must be out of whack or something ... my clothes are all still roomy ... so I aint gained 8 kilo's LOL
