lost 3 lbs from a couple of days age; weighed in at 186 on my new scale the lowest weight so far equal to 181 on my old scale but the body fat increased. read the manual on my tanita fit scan and it says the fat percentage is 5% accuracy meaning that it is off by 5percent on the high end so wondered if my body fat percentage is much lower than my scale readings. the scale is just good for using as a reference to know which direction your body fat percentages are trending. 

my fit scan body fat percentage reading is off it said plus or minus 5percent and have read the amazon message boards and they say the machine is very accurate with the weight readings and they use this brand at weight watchers but the body fat reading is off by +- 5 percent at most according to the manufacturers manual. most of the users say they have found the scale to be off by 2 percentages on the plus side on the fat reading they confirmed it with their doctors readings. 

watch out for raisins. they are very high calorie and can be easily overeaten. i was consuming 1 to 2 cups at one sitting(500-1000) calories and thought they were low calorie. this is they type of deceptive food that if you ignore the calorie counting and calorie content can pack on the pounds quickly.
