Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I once had a device that claimed to measure body fat. The fact that it gave wildly different "measurements" if I told it I was different ages/genders and depending on whether or not I pressed the "athlete" button suggests that it was using a simple algorithm rather than measuring anything.

The photo-charts of men and women at different levels of body fat are probably more accurate.

I am thinking of getting a set but not sure if it will make my body image issues better or worse. I like the idea of measuring bone density as a woman *of a certain age* as I wonder about it falling. But can you stop that? Or just build up muscles roundabout to compensate.

Picture chart would prob be bad for me as I'd always think I'm fatter than the pics.

Have already failed Confucius test. But they are very old jeans...

Hmmmm couldn't resist a look at the photo charts. I could be anywhere between 20 and 30 depending on how I feel about myself at a given time.

Got something to say?
