The Health o meter

®

Body Fat Monitoring Scale can help you in achieving

your physical best by providing two critical measurement estimates: BODY
FAT COMPOSITION and BODY WEIGHT. In addition it helps you track your
progress to a goal by allowing you to set your weight goal and calculating the
weight differences between your starting point, your previously saved weight
and your set weight goal. 

Traditional bathroom scales, indicate your overall weight—both lean mass
and body fat together. The Health o meter

®

Body Fat Monitoring Scale lets

you track your weight and body fat separately.  See enclosed brochure for
