Conair Scale WW33D User Manual

At 180 lbs with 30% body fat, the person now has 54 lbs of body fat (30% of  
180 lbs = 54 lbs), meaning that 6 lbs of the total 20 lbs lost were fat. So, do not  
be overly concerned if your body fat % does not change despite the fact that you  
are losing weight. Remember, to minimize the loss of lean tissue include regular  
physical activity, especially strength training, in your weight loss plan.  
When You’re Maintaining Weight  
Fluctuations in day-to-day weight tend to be smaller when weight is stable, so a  
more frequent weigh-in pattern is helpful. To maintain a stable weight:  
• Weigh yourself more often than once a week.  
• Use the “5-pound rule” – research shows that people who keep weight within  
a 5-pound range are more likely to maintain a healthy body weight over the  
long term.  
Make the most of it!  
To summarize, make the most of the body fat analysis feature by:  
Tracking change over time and not day to day.  
• Using the same scale as much as possible.  
Weight And Body Fat  
How does it work?  
• Being extra-consistent in the time of day, day of the week, time before or after  
food and fluid consumption, before or after exercise, etc., when measuring body  
fat composition.  
While body fat can be measured in many ways, the method used in your scale is  
bioelectrical impedance. This indirect method of determining body fat starts when a  
safe and very low electrical current is sent through the lower half of the body. The  
electrical current flows more quickly through water and muscle than it will through  
bone and fat. The scale measures the speed of the current. Based on this number,  
the scale estimates body fat using a multi-step, mathematical formula.  
Always keep in mind that you know your body best. The following ranges  
of Body Fat Percentages are offered as guides:  
Age  
Females  
Males  
8-19%  
11-21%  
13-24%  
Healthy Range  
of Body Fat  
Percentage  
18-39  
40-59  
60-79  
21-32%  
23-33%  
24-35%  
Is it accurate?  
Measurements of body fat tend to fluctuate a lot more than simple weighing, and  
different methods of estimating body fat yield very different results. Just as different  
scales give different results, different body fat analyzers can provide very different  
body fat estimates. Even with the same scale the numbers will vary because:  
• Weight loss tends to produce substantial, continuous, and unpredictable changes  
in body water content. Because body fat analysis is determined by water content  
in the body, results can vary considerably from day to day.  
Scales by  
While a scale/body fat monitor can be a useful tool on your weight-loss  
journey, it’s not in and of itself a program for losing weight. Studies show  
that people lose three times more weight on Weight Watchers than they  
do on their own*.

• Hydration status affects body fat results. If you’ve just worked out, there is less  
water for the electrical current to flow through. This may result in a higher body  
fat result. In the same way, if you measure your body fat after drinking a lot of  
fluid, it may appear that body fat is lower than it really is.  
Instructions  
• Skin temperature can have an influence also. Measuring body fat in warm humid  
weather when skin is moist will yield a different result than if skin is cold and dry.  
• As with weight, it is better to track trends over time than to use individual daily  
results, when your goal is to change body composition.  
• Results may not be accurate for persons under the age of 16, or persons with an  
elevated body temperature, diabetes or other health conditions.

What you need to know!  
• Percent body fat refers to the number of pounds of fat divided by your total body  
weight and multiplied by 100.  
• During weight loss, percent body fat doesn’t appear to be reduced as quickly as  
expected because total weight loss and total body fat are decreasing at the same  
time (for a more detailed explanation, see next section).  
• Weight loss in the form of body fat and lean tissue (muscle) is common, and is normal.  
To minimize the loss of lean tissue, include regular physical activity, especially  
strength training, in your weight loss plan.

• Remember that your Weight Watchers body fat monitor is showing your body fat  
as a percentage, not as an absolute number of pounds. At the beginning of  
a weight loss program, a person may weigh 200 lbs and show 30% body fat,  
equaling 60 lbs of fat (30% of 200 lbs = 60 lbs). A few weeks later, the same  
person may have lost a substantial amount of weight. Weight is now at 180 lbs,  
yet body fat is still at 30%. Why? Did that person not lose any fat? Yes, they did.
