It's very important to lose excess body fat as opposed to muscle mass. Lean muscle is needed for your body to function well... look your best and avoid health risks. The Omron Fat Loss Monitor with Scale gives you the ability to track the fat you are losing. Accurate body fat calculations using Bioelectrical Impedance Technology Body fat and muscle tissue have different levels of electrical conductivity. The Fat Loss Monitor with Scale sends a safe, low-level electrical current through you body to calculate the amount of body fat tissue. This is known as the Bioelectrical Impedance (BI) Method. Your body fat percentage is automatically calculated using the body fat tissue amount, you height, weight, age and gender information. Omron provides you with the accurate and reliable information you need to help measure your progress in achieving your health and fitness goals.

weight loss or weight maintenance program.
For the Whole Family The HBF-400 supports up to four personal profiles, so each member of your family can track their own measurements independently. Plus, an easy-to-read and large digital display makes it a snap to get the information you need.
Detailed Measurement The weight display measures weight up to 330 pounds in .2-pound increments, while body fat percentage can be measured from 5 to 60 percent in .1 percent increments.
One of the keys to weight loss and management is tracking your body mass index, or BMI. The HBF-400 rates your BMI from 7.0 to 90.0 in .1 increments. BMI is classified at three levels: underweight, normal, overweight, and obese.
Made for Just about Everyone The HBF-400 is set up to provide measurements for folks of nearly all heights (3'4" to 6' 6-3/4") and nearly all ages (10 to 79 years). Measurements are customized for males and females, as well.
Power and Dimensions The HBF-400 runs on four AA batteries, and you can expect about a year of battery life when the device is used four times a day. The unit measures 12.2 x 11.8 x 2.1 inches (L x W x H). The unit weighs 4.7 pounds.

Q&A - Fitness Monitors
What is the Bioelectrical Impedance Method? Bioelectrical Impedance (BI) is considered one of the most accurate and accessible methods of screening body fat. Muscles, blood vessels and bones are body tissues having a high water content that conduct electricity easily. Body fat is tissue that has little electric conductivity. The monitor sends an extremely weak electrical current through your body to determine the amount of fat tissue. The weak electrical current is not felt while operating the Body Fat Analyzer. The monitor is calculated by a formula that includes five factors; electric resistance, height, weight, age and gender. What is visceral fat? Visceral fat is located around the organs. Too much visceral fat is thought to be closely linked to increased level of fat in the bloodstream, which can lead to common conditions such as high cholesterol, cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Sedentary life style causes excess visceral fat, and exercise can reduce it quicker than subcutaneous fat (fat located under skin). What is resting metabolism? Resting metabolism is the energy to maintain vital functions and it counts 60 to 70% of total energy consumption. Knowing your resting metabolism can help your dietplan. If you can increase daily activity while keeping food intake at resting metabolism level, you can lose weight. What is skeletal muscle? Skeletal muscle is muscle attached to the bones that is used to move the body. If you do weight loss without exercise, you may lose skeletal muscle. Skeletal muscle is important to maintain your resting metabolism as well as your functionality. Monitoring skeletal muscle during weight loss is key to avoid weight rebound in the future.

Not consistent on weight - not accurate on bodyfat - so what's the point?:
This review is for the HB-400. I ordered this scale because of someone recommending the brand on a fitness forum. When I saw it had a cumulative 4-star review and the first few ratings looked really good (consistency and accuracy of weight were both noted), the prices was right too - so I went ahead and ordered. (Please note that I realized later that the first couple GOOD reviews listed are for the HB-500 not the HB-400 - for some reason, both of these products have the reveiws lumped together. This is... more info
good product:
works great, it has a slight difference from the professional fat monitor that my doctor has, but is almost accurate.
HBF-400 Good Scale, Bad Fat Monitor:
The scale is pretty accurate but the fat monitor is nothing but a calculator based on Height and Weight...it's useless. BMI is accurate based on Height, Sex, Age and weight.
Works well:
I was tired of having a scale that didn't match the one at my doctor's office. This one appears to be more accurate. The settings for Fat Monitor and BMI are handy though I don't use them much. I'm just trying to drop a few pounds and this gives me insight on how I'm doing.
