I picked up a pair of calipers in a "Vy-tam-in" store in America but they were $50 and I was only on the first day of the holiday so I wanted to have a look around for other ones but I never got around to it (was also spending $$$ like H20 as well which didn't help ha ha!)<br /><br />Love Stephen Fry...but of course!

Full body bio-impedance or calipers are likely to be more accurate if you can get a measurement via one of those routes I'm certain it'd be appreciably lower. I think the hand-held ones are much like the ones you stand on in that they do a shortened route for the current (the current -will- take the shortest, lowest resistance route; so a hand held one will go up one arm, across your torso horizontally and then down the other arm).<br /><br />I get a full body bio-impedance done at the gym once a month and sometimes I jump on the normal weighing scales that do shortened bio-impedance (basically the current goes up one leg across the groin and down the other leg instead of from finger-tip to toe-tip) and the two differ by around 4% for me (full body being lower). I wish I had the time and money to get one of those water bath measurements, but...<br /><br />Oh and Woooooooo! for Stephen Fry - seriously brilliant man! :oDTOTKathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02237887292728041504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018118511770518020.post-18569253454396831392009-10-20T17:13:08.286+01:002009-10-20T17:13:08.286+01:00BandF - thank you very much, that's really swe...BandF - thank you very much, that's really sweet, I'm touched :-) xx<br /><br />DF - err no, hands off he's going to be my dad/uncle/errm something or other ha! :-) he's super isn't he, such a national treasure!<br /><br />Yeah, I think I might stop using those scales, they're just depressing me! I think a handheld device would be more accurate/painless! xxTara Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15209790004082872843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018118511770518020.post-67104856900021388122009-10-20T09:09:24.480+01:002009-10-20T09:09:24.480+01:002 things...

Soooooo.... don't get hung up on the numbers on your scale honey.<br /><br />2ndly - Stephen Fry. Sorry love, he's going to adopt ME!! ;-) (although I guess I could be a much younger sister for him instead!!)<br /><br />xxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16082284301489996802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018118511770518020.post-53554925005172402192009-10-19T20:30:40.874+01:002009-10-19T20:30:40.874+01:00Wow you've been busy!
