i wish they do some thing for a person who wears  prosthetic leg and gets on a scale and then c the weight and the scale can not say what Ur BMI is or if u type in Ur weight the BMI shows up and says Ur overweight. I think the bmi is way off and does not accurate because it can not determine if u have a prosthetic leg when i tried to just weight my self it could not give me accurate BMI on one leg . i jyust wish they make a scale where it can get ur BMI if a person has one leg.

Hi @CelticCats, is it possible to enter a starting bmi on your scales or do they only make their own calculation?

I just thought if you could enter a starting figure perhaps someone at your doctors could do a one-off customised calculation to get you started. 

Sorry if that's a stupid idea, I don't know how those scales work. I can understand your frustration with it.

Hope you find a way to sort it out.

Cheers.
