i personally wouldnt waste my money on one a this early stage... but maybe later on down the line if you are excercising etc if you want to keep track on that type of thing xx

No there not, they are a con, they are just a calculator that you add all your details so it can work out your BMI then it makes you grip the unit so you think it's doing some sort of magical measurement, it's not. You cannot measure the makeup of your body By taking any measurement through the skin. Don't waist your money.

Body analyser scales do the same more accurately

i think the best way to see how your doing is by looking in the mirror, and the new smaller clothes you gonna be wearing xxx

And a tape measure as you can change shape during rapid weight loss. Other than that standard bathroom scales, if you can find them to weigh you if you are above average weight wise as most normal scales only go to 21 ish stone, the digital or Salter made scales often go much higher though. And one of the many free BMI calculators is all you need.
