Review: Great Product - want a reason to stay on the healthy diet. If you give up before monitoring your body fat and measuring inches, you are looking for the easy way out. This is the easiest way to monitor body fat, just a few clicks and it gives a great reading. I started a lifestyle change around xmas time and like usual followed with a new years resolution to make a lifestyle change. As a PE teacher and former college athlete i was not setting a great example to my students and players. While in college I had done body comp tests to better understand the practice and each method. Like most reviews will say there are pros and cons to each but I actually witnessed a study against the gold standard, under water weighing, the omron did very well. If i remember right most amateurs with the calipers where not doing so hot. This seemed to me,factoring in the ease of use and speed of response that this is the best way to go. Personally my girlfriend and I use it at least once a week to monitor fat loss. We use it at the same time every morning every week, take two readings and use it for feedback on our diet progress. Women especially dont always lose lbs on the diet we have implemented so I wanted extra proof and motivation to keep at it as a family. As a teacher I will be using it as a tool in physical education to explain healthy body weight and body comp. I know that many factors can skew the numbers here but you dont have to be a rocket scientist or even know what a variable is to use common sense and test the same way every time. If you control your hydration variable alone you should be fine. for 30 bucks get this product, use it the right way and you will be able to track your progress and tweak your diet and fitness routine to see the results you want
Review: Very Precise, User Error Probably Leads to Imprecision - After reading over several reviews of this product, mostly VERY high praise, I placed my order. I then went back and read all the one star reviews, to see what the gripes people had with the product were. They seem to mainly be that the product is not precise, that is, taking one reading after another yields a wide range of results. I got concerned that I made a bad choice, but the purchase was already complete. My item arrived today (VERY fast with the free super-saver shipping, I must say) and I've gotten a chance to test it for myself. I found that it is VERY precise. MUCH more than expected actually. Precision means repeated tests yield results very close together, while accurate means the results are close to the actual value. I cannot speak on its accuracy, since I do not have a known accurate method of testing my fat % to compare it to. But most of the reviews complain of imprecision, but I can say from my testing is not an issue. I did ten repeated readings using the correct positioning (standing up, arms straight out 90 degrees from body). The readings were ALL within 0.2% of each other. From my experience with statistics, I can say with 95% confidence that my body fat reading is 17.30% plus or minus 0.14%. I then started toying around with all the wrong positions. I did sitting, with arms in the correct position, and got an average of 17.58%. Looks like sitting skews the reading upwards just slightly. But the range of values was still quite small, and I can be 95% certain that the value is 17.58% plus or minus 0.17%, only a tiny increase in uncertainty. That result was pretty close to the correct position result, surprisingly. Now, all the very inaccurate positions: -Sitting, arms bent at 90 degrees: 14.98 +/- 0.41% -Standing, arms bent at 90 degrees: 15.66 +/- 0.27% -Standing, arms bent and out slightly forward, so screen is easily visible by glancing down (likely a commonly used incorrect position since it's the position that allows you to be most comfortable while most easily viewing the readout): 15.96 +/- 0.23% So, as long as your position remains the same over multiple readings, even incorrect positions yield quite consistent results. I can only imagine that if repeated readings yield vastly different results, it's due to a variety of positions used during the readings. OR a faulty device. Or maybe there's something funky about your body that the device just doesn't like - a few reviewers commented that it just plain doesn't work with some people, so maybe with others it works but is inconsistent. In any case, unless you are working towards a very specific body fat % goal, you're probably using this to help observe your fat loss better (rather than just using your weight, which could drop slower than expected due to increases in muscle mass from working out more), which means you're more interested in relative values anyway. So regardless of whether it's accurately reading your body fat %, you'll get use out of it by seeing how the values change in relation to what they were before. And as long as it's precise, you're good to go. So follow the directions in the manual about body position, about when to measure in relation to meals and working out, and you can feel good buying this product, because it's a great deal and gives you much better insight into your weight loss than the number on a scale.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How is the calculation for body fat % different in normal mode and athlete mode?**
A: When using the Athletic option, My body fat% seems to have a lower reading. But on averages its about 0.2 - 0.6% less than in normal mode. The way I see it is if you wok out at least 5 days or more a week, place it in Athletic mode. Obviously if you play a sporst every year and are training throughout the year for it, same thing. But if you are a person who works out 1-4 days a week and you're working out very lightly, or just to maintain a current body type, then Normal is what you want.The book suggestions are as follows:Normal Mode: For People with lower activity, frequency, intensity and time or for people who are currently not exercising or activeAthlete Mode: For people with higher activity, frequency, intensity and time.I work out at least 6 days a week, 3 of those days I work out twice a day. I do not play sports on the regular, but I do stay active more than not.

**Q: Does anyone know why body fat reading varies with age? I'm 40.6% at age 72 & 30.5% at age 32 - rest of data the same.**
A: These devices are not 100% accurate, but no method is and these are better than most other methods and will give you pretty good results. If you want, you can pay for some really expensive evaluations by a professional measuring bouyancy and so on. The variance with age is most likely due to differences in other aspects of body composition with age. For example, as you age, your body retains significantly less water. An infant is about 70% water, whereas an elderly female is about 45% water. Other factors vary as well, and many will change your body's resistance to electricity. These measure your resistance to electric current - body fat, for example, has a different resistance than muscle. Make sure you cover as much of the metal with your hands as possible as well to increase conductivity - it assumes you are touching the entire plate. Learned about the different methods in college while studying nursing.

**Q: What height does this monitor go up to??**
A: I am not aware of height limit.  I have used it on a person who is 6'4''

**Q: How accurate is this on post-menopausal women? Why does this matter? Thx**
A: I think it would matter if you're using a math formula to help calculate percent body fat.  After menopause a woman's estrogen level drops so they probably get more fat and less muscle (I assume estrogen helps keep muscle mass).  I know that for men testosterone is responsible for a lot of our muscles. After I was fixed a ton of my muscles turned to fat so i'm assuming it's the same for women after menopause, just not as extreme.Your estrogen level could have a big effect on your amount of fat and muscles.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ More Accurate than my Other Scales
*by L***A on March 14, 2008*

If you're trying to maintain a healthy weight - or reach one - then a fat monitor can be key. Being 150 pounds and 50% fat is much different than being 150 pounds at 20% fat! If you haven't used an electronic fat monitor before, here is how they work. You enter your height and weight. This gives the monitor a rough idea of how long an electrical current should take to go in one end of you and out the other. Then you hold two plates in your hands, and it sends a quick electrical message in one hand and out the other. It doesn't hurt at all - you can't feel it at all. But by tracking the speed of the signal, the monitor knows how dense your body is. That tells it what percentage of you is fat, and what percentage is other stuff (muscle, water, etc.) How is this helpful? Well, your aim as you lose weight is to be less and less fat. Fat is large, unhealthy and bulky. Muscle is slim and actively burns calories. Don't think of gaining muscle as bulking up like Conan. Think of it as gaining lean active muscle like a ballerina or a dancer. It means you can climb stairs more easily, lift items more easily, and your overall shape will be much slimmer. So, how well does this Ormon monitor work? We've tried it out with many people now. It stores up to 9 settings inside it, and it's really easy for a guest to instantly use it as well. You just enter your height, weight and age. It instantly knows your BMI based on that since BMI is just weight and height. Then you hold the two sides for a few moments and it tells you your body fat as well. Quick, easy, painless. We use this several times a day, just to play with it and see the progress we're making. There are many times when you're losing weight that it seems you "aren't losing weight". But really, you are converting from fat to muscle and fat is thick and light while muscle is thin and heavy. So for example you might go from a 38" waist to a 34" waist and still "weigh the same". This is good overall, because you are slimmer, healthier, and it means that going forward it'll be even easier for you to lose the remaining weight! So seeing that progression with your body fat can be very encouraging. Highly recommended!
