Scale Shenanigans

[desinr-gal]

I got one of the Renfo Body scales. Does anyone else have one of these? How does is accurately detect all these stats like visceral body fat, and all the rest, with 4 sensors? I'm not putting a lot of stock in this info yet. I'm down 42 lbs as of this morning and have my checkup next week when I'm sure the Doctor's scale will show 38!

I had one and it glitched twice, losing all of my data. and it adds in the weights of others using the scale sometimes. urgg so I replaced it with an Arboleaf.

Someone posted their Renpho next to their Dexa scan results and it was surprisingly accurate. He was using the 6-point one with the hand-held part too. I have one that’s about 4 years old and even if the numbers aren’t 100% accurate, the trends are what really matter. But I’m a nerd, so I love ALL the data and statistics.

Good to know! The trends are positive on weight, I just didn't know whether to believe any of the other info.

I snapshot it every week. That would be a bummer.

You would think it would use body measurements, or something else additional, but it's just the 4 sensors on the scale that you stand on to get the reading. It's pretty cool, but how accurate is it, is the question?

You enter data on the app, like height, sex, and age etc.. it bases calculations using those too

Right, which means my BMI will never be under 27! Oh well, it's how you feel anyway.

I sync mine to MyFitnessPal and Apple Health, so I’ve got the tends and data in multiple places (though I’ve never lost any data to begin.)

Mine pops up a box that asks if it’s my weight or not when something looks out of whack and I can just click “not mine.” You can also have multiple users set up; my spouse and I don’t have any trouble keeping ours straight even if both of our phones are there at the same time.
