Well put JC. That should be a wake up call to all of us. My mother has two artificial knees after being very overweight from about 40 on. I think about that from time to time.

If everyone would maintain a healthy weight through a reasonable balance of diet and exercise and not smoke and not use drugs and drink only in moderation and not drive while intoxicated and wear seatbelts the rate of hospital admissions would plummet.

I wouldn't put it in the scam category at all. Yes, it does vary from day to day but it actually gives you good information. Just keep in mind that it's measuring the percentage of water in your body which is usually a good indicator of the percentage of fat, but not always.ABTOMAT said:I have a Tanita scale. It's a great scale for weighing, but the BMI thing is sort of a joke. Depending on how dry you are, or what you've been doing, etc it goes all over the map. Same thing as the Scientology "E-Meter" scam.
