I’m Not Fat, I’m Big-Boned

Posted by: Vince

We own a Tanita BF680W Duo Scale Plus Body Fat Monitor which is basically a fancy scale that measures weight, hydration level and body fat. As a part of my weekly routine, I weigh myself every Friday and I've been tracking my numbers since the beginning of the year. For me, it's not about my weight or fat percentage; it's just about keeping a baseline.

I've been told (by the people who tell me things) that the most accurate method for determining weight and body fat is the hydrostatic body fat test. My gym periodically offers said test so I decided to sign up to find out how fat I am. The price of the test is a whopping $49 which is a little less than what I paid for my Tanita scale but it's a small price to pay for another blog entry. :) And besides... it's the most accurate... right?
