toss the scale?

The tanita scales are not really "stupid" -- they are just measuring different components of bodyfat (i.e. more than just skin fold) and also are subject to differences in the body's impedence due to electrolyte diffs, water content, etc.

But to compare -- my weight has fluctated +/- 2-3 lbs since December but my bodyfat has dropped around 6-7% now.

Sorry, I should sum up to say, they are not an accurate account of what most people are looking for. I would never use one.
Good job on the bod's composition change that is what we all want. I can't wait to get some calipers now and get checkin

I agree -- there are too many variables to get consistent readings easily I think and the number is higher than a pinch so it freaks people out. And frankly my last competition measurements were the analog calipers so that's the only measurement that I can compare with & get meaningful comparisons.
