Doubtful for the body fat % as the scale sends a very small electric current up one side of the body and measures the time it takes to travel down the other side. The weight should work however.

Thanks for the quick response.I assumed that it may not work, but I DO like
the 17.5% bmi. Inaccurate, but nice. The scale does its job like you said it
would, so 50% is good. It's my Wife's program anyway.

BUT if I kneel down, touch the distal to the sensor pad and have my foot on
the other pad, I'll probably fall on my butt and end up in the hospital.
Besides ending up as a utube video taken by said Wife. Never mind, just
another not so good idea.

Thanks again, keep smilin' and have a great day!
