newbie saying hello

vixnZH Posts: 3 Joined: 2002/04/21	2002/04/22, 12:59 PM Hello to everyone. :-) I just got my program last week and it's great. Thanks for this site! I have a question.......ok....I have been lifting weights for about 2 weeks now (before I got a program from here) ok my clothes are a bit loser......I have discovered I have a butt.....great.....but just one problem my Tanita is giving me the same bodyfat% that it did a month ago......so either I haven't lost any fat......or the Tanita is wrong??? I was hoping for atleast 1 pound of fat and was expecting it.....but....nope....

Xena Posts: 5 Joined: 2002/04/16	2002/04/22, 01:42 PM It's possible that the Tanita is off.......I had one that wasn't very accurate, I suggest that you invest in some calipers and either dump the Tanita, or use it in conjunction with the calipers.

Basically the tanita combo scales are not accurate and you should use calipers. -------------- And my soul must be iron, because my fear is naked. I'm naked and fearless.

vixnZH Posts: 3 Joined: 2002/04/21	2002/04/24, 01:45 PM Yeah, I'm dumping the Tanita, doesn't seem to be of much use. It says how much I weigh, but that doesn't really matter since i'm only concerned with my bodyfat%.
