I have been working hard to lose weight but instead of the pounds on my scale going down, it keeps going up!! Talk about a huge motivation killer. It was enough to make me not want to work out anymore A lot of people keep telling me I'm building muscles and I I KNOW in the back of my mind that is true but who wants to keep working out with no results? I was told when working out and building muscle stay off of a scale but I NEED some way to measure my progress just for piece of mind. So I was very excited to try this Body Fat Test Caliper and Body Tape Measure. I was told you lose inches before you lose pounds so this combo was a fantastic way for me to put that theory to the test.
The body Fat Test Caliper is very simple to us and comes with an easy to read chart. The numbers were not exactly what I wanted to see and I have nothing to compare them to but at least I have a starting point. It is made out of a very nice heavy duty plastic so it will be durable for a long time. The measuring mechanism slides easily without having to be forced so there is no fear of having to push so hard I may be breaking it.

I love that the measuring tape is NOT the cloth type you have to roll up. I have one of those and I put a rubber band around it to keep it neat. Well the rubber band mysteriously disappeared the first time I unrolled the tape to use it. The type "holder" is made from a nice durable, heavy plastic The tape comes out and holds its place then retracts very smoothly. When you are stopped at the point you are trying to measure, there is a slot to hold the tape in place. The downside is it is metric is the side showing, so if you want to see inches you have to turn it upside down.
