I've had a programmable scale for two years and just took the time to set it today. It measures percentages for water, bone mass, muscle, and fat. I have no idea how accurate it is, but I copied down the numbers and went online to find out what's what. I'm within range (sometimes at the far extreme) for each thing but muscle, which is just under the appropriate percentage (according to the Livestrong site). It's food for thought. My fat was really high: 32% which was the very top of the range for my height and weight, so there's some work still to do there. My water was at the bottom of the range. According to what I read, muscle holds 75% water while fat holds 5%. If you have more water in your body, you likely have more muscle. That's one more good reason to lift some light weights and walk a little more! It was just fun to play around, but I did find the info I read to be interesting. It informs some of my decisions a little bit more. I surely do NOT want to be 32% fat! I also discovered that my goal weight still keeps me in an "overweight" BMI so I had to be more realistic about the goals I'm setting for myself. I knocked it down a bit :)
