 The Wall Street Journal reviewed body fat scales yesterday. The results: "Best Overall goes to the scale we bought from Frontgate [
Frontgate
; 888-263-9850
$299; standard shipping adds $26.99] , with hand-held as well as sole-of-the-feet electrodes. Its body-fat percentage reading was off by less than one point. Best Value goes to The Sharper Image's scale [ The Sharper Image
; 800-344-4444
$119.95; standard shipping adds $17.95], which underreported our fat by a point and a half but at least was pretty easy to program." The ones NOT to buy according to the WSJ: "Herrington simply didn't work...one from SkyMall had us two percentage points fatter." The WSJ also reminds us that as a rule of thumb women's body fat should be under 30 pecent, and men under 20 percent. Woudn't that be nice. Maybe after the New Year.
