Product Description Health o Meter calculates body fat and hydration percentage. Accurately measures weight up to 380 lbs in 0.2 lb increments. It displays weight and change in weight for up to 4 users and stores 12 memories per user. FDA approved BIA (bio-electrical impedance analysis) measures body fat by passing tiny electrical impulses through the body. The electrical current reacts to fat and muscle by measuring resistance to the current.
Customer Reviews: Great!!October 25, 2009 Amy P. Varney Love this machine. Works well and has helped me keep track of my weight loss. I am at my goal and plan to stay there.
Digital ScaleFebruary 6, 2010 J. Grove This is the second Health-O-Meter scale we've had and both have proven to be reliable and easy to set up. This one was purchased because of the BMI function which was not included in the previous purchase. Both of these scales are to be highly recommended.
Great Memory CapacityAugust 11, 2008 D. Johnson(Wheaton, Illinois USA) 18 out of 18 found this review helpful
I was looking for a scale to replace my old clunker that had rusted away.
I wanted one with the ability to measure body fat.
This scale not only measures body fat but also fluid content as well.
Best, it has a memory to hold up to 12 measurements for each of the four users which you can review at the touch of a button and it can keep track of up to four different individuals. Of course if you are the only one using the scale you can program all four buttons for yourself and then save up to 48 measurements for yourself.
You can also use it without storing measurements so any number of people can use it.
For the four people you do want to keep track of the programming is simple. Choose one of the four buttons on the front of the scale and hold it down along with the "Select" button. Then enter how tall the person is, male or female and what that person's goal weight is, if you want to. It isn't required. That is it. You are ready to go.
To weigh yourself, touch the button you assigned to yourself. The scale turns on, zeros itself out and you then stand on the scale barefooted so that it can measure the fat and fluid contents of your body. Wait about 30 seconds and it will display your current weight, then your weight and fat/fluid percentages then how much you gained or lost since the last time you stored your weight. Step off of the scale and touch the Select button with your toe to store your current measurements and you are done.
To review your progress, touch the assigned button for yourself and then the up or down buttons to page through the stored measurements for yourself. Each stored measurement consists of three screens of data. For each saved weight, the first screen contains the weight and the date that weight was taken and the amount of weight change from that weighing to the previous one. The second screen contains the total weight you have lost since you began weighing yourself until the date you are reviewing, what your starting weight was and the percentage of body fat your last measurement was. The third screen contains the same information as the second except instead of body fat it displays your hydration percentage.
So you have a complete record for each time you took your weight and saved it and so you can see how you are progressing and whether your loss is from loss of body fat or fluid. Many people see that they lose 2-3 pounds and think they have lost weight when actually they have only lost excess fluid that may have been retained from using too much salt or eating salty snacks.
With this scale you can see if your weight loss is real body weight or just fluid.
Doesn't seem too sturdyMay 22, 2009 sneeziegirl(Raleigh, NC USA) Although the scales says it can track up to 380 lbs, I'm no where near that the scales crack so bad when I get up on them. I worry about how sturdy they are.
