I have lost about 8 stone over the last 2 years and I have the first Aria scales so I don't get updates on them anymore and I just use them to check my weight occasionally. I noticed today that my body fat is at 14% which is apparently not healthy. I am 39, female, 5ft 5 and weigh 10 St 4 lb. I've had 2 children and because of the weight loss have a lot of loose skin. Do you think it would be accurate or is there somewhere I can go to get it checked properly?

 

My diet is poor and I don't eat well or enough. I am experiencing health issues with numbness in my legs and hands and I am seeing a neurologist in a couple of weeks. B12 is on and off low but not worryingly.

Check your gender both in the Fitbit app and in your profile on the fitibit website. I had a similar issue where my BF was too high, and while the app was correct the website had switched me to female. Once I fixed that the calculation was correct.

Does this mean that your scale recognizes you again!  Wonderful!
