Most body fat monitors show body fat as a percentage only. This body fat
monitor shows you not only a percentage but the actual number of body
fat pounds (in fact, this is the measurement you see after your weight is
displayed). Why is that important? When you lose weight, both the
numerator (pounds of body fat) and denominator (total body weight) go
down, so when it's calculated as a body fat percentage, the number can
be small. For example, a person may weigh 200 pounds and have 40%
body fat (= 80 pounds of body fat). He/She loses 20 pounds, but the body
fat has only dropped 4% to 36%. That 4% of body fat was 16 pounds of
fat – a very significant amount! So do not be overly concerned if you do
not see the percentage change quickly as you are losing weight: monitor
the absolute number of body fat pounds lost. Remember, to minimize the
loss of lean tissue, include regular physical activity, especially strength
training, in your weight loss plan.
Make the most of it!
To summarize, make the most of the body fat analysis feature by:
• Tracking change over time and not day-to-day.
• Using the same scale as much as possible.
• Being extra-consistent in the time of day, day of the week, time before
or after food and fluid consumption, before or after exercise, etc., when
measuring body fat composition.
Always keep in mind that you know your body best. The following
ranges of Body Fat Percentages are offered as guides:

While a scale/body fat monitor can be a useful tool on your weight-loss
journey, it's not in and of itself a program for losing weight. Studies show
that people lose three times more weight on Weight Watchers than they
do on their own*.
