    I'm not sure how accurate those monitors are, they pass an elctronic pulse around your body and this can vary quiet a bit depending on time of day and how much water % is.

    Have a look at this one, you'll get more consistent readings once you master the usage of it:

    For encouragement take weekly photos (pick a day and do it first thing in the morning), better than any scales or monitor! You'll be amazed at the difference in just a few weeks!

    Don't be so polite;) they are brutal! change by the hour

    Get the calipers, I got springloaded ones, slimguide, you can get them on ebay. There are many calculations/formulas, some say I am 8% some 17%. Just keep track of the figures and you will know if you are going up or down relatively.

    Calipers rule! (unless you have a big bath and a lot of equipment)

    I got the fast track cause Im lazy. The manual one works well too!!

    I have a scale that use the same thing as your amazon idea. I lost 10kg and the scale still showed the same fat %!! :O
    But the caliper showed the real % and also the mayo tape aroung the waist.. so put your $$$ towards a caliper and mayo tape instead.

    thats my 0.02$
