    Guys,
    I'm looking to buy one in town today(the same jobbie that Kelloggs are offering for 7.50 with Special K).I know you can buy a combined weighing scales/BFA but I have a decent scales already and don't want to buy another just for the BFA.

    Does anybody know where I could get one. Argos don't sell them so it doesn't look like there easy to come across!

    The thing where you put your 2 thumbs onto the device?

    If it is then it's not worth buying. They only work things out based on Math and your thumbs actually have no effect other then to trigger the device. You'll see what I mean if you get 2 completely different people and use the same numbers.

    A Ciaran!,
    Don't say that I've just bought it!!

    It says that it sends a small current through your body and the resistance to the flow from the fat in your body is used to give the value.

    I'll try it later and ask the other half to try it and I'll give a review of it then!!

    Initial look at the manual isn't great.
    grammar and typographical errors

    I just gave it a quick test there and it seemed to give a correct figure.....30.4% I'll have to cut back on the crap in my diet
    I'll see if I can pursuade the other half to have a go later!!
