i bought this scale but all I am getting is my weight, I want to get my BMI information. How do I get this and set my age, height etc?

You have to set up a profile for yourself using the buttons at the top. You can set up to 8 profiles. I think you have to hit the button on the right and P1 (person 1) will flash and then you enter all of the information it asks for. Then next time you weigh yourself hit the button in the middle until you see P1, then get on the scale it takes about 90 seconds but it will give you your weight, BMI and how far you are from your goal.

When weighing yourself you have to do it at the same time, preferably not having eaten, wearing the same clothes, etc. If you hold all factors constant and you home scale is always 2 lbs less...I truly do not know how to adjust it. Perhaps there is a customer service number in the manual. Otherwise, I would do what I do with my doctor's scale. I just subtract 2 -3 lbs in my mind for clothes, shoes, and what I ate and drank before I got to the doctor. Sorry it is not like the old scales where you just turn a knob. Sorry I can't help more. Good luck with your diet.

I was never able to use the scale. A woman that weighs 125 pounds showed 280 pound. It had an "err" with an overweight message for me and I'm 190 pounds.

Make sure you're barefoot when using the scale to record anything but weight. Have you established your baseline? The scale needs to know your age, height and sex before it can use the body fat and water measurements. Instructions come with the scale, or you can download them here: http://www.escali.com/images/support/1351175302BFBW200%20manual.pdf Steps are: 1. Use arrow buttons to select a number (the scale records base height, age & sex for up to 10 people), press middle (enter, right angle arrow) button. 2. Use arrows to select sex, press enter. 3. Use arrows to select height, press enter. 4. Use arrows to select age, press enter. The scale will return to zero and should be ready to record body fat/ water percentage. Make sure you stay standing on the scale (with bare feet) until it completes the cycle and shows weight, bodyfat and water percentages. After baseline is saved, you can use one foot on the scale to cycle to your number (1-10) and use saved Age, Height, & Sex.

I can't help you. I didn't keep the scale. Maybe the brochure will tell you.

We have never experienced this issue with our scale. Always get a set number within a second or two. Maybe you have a defective item.

Use it straight out of the box. Put the bowl on, if using it, and turn on. When 0 is displayed, add your food. If you aren't using bowl, remove it, then turn on. 0 will appear...then weigh your food.

There is a button on the bottom of the scale towards the front. Just push it until you get the desired unit if measurement. Hope this helps :)

The same happened to me! I returned it directly to the manufacture if you're still on time to return it DO IT!! and buy a different scale! Hope my advice helps you! GL

There are no instructions in the box on how to operate this scale. I punched buttons and found nothing for turning sound off. Thank goodness I don't mind having my abundant weight broadcast through the house. However, I usually weigh myself when no one is awake...in a room with the door closed. No biggie. My friends and family all know how much I weigh. I felt it was easier to just breach the subject and then not worry about it any longer. The great advantage to this scale is I can actually have it weigh me correctly. Other scales I've had to lean forward to see the verdict. This would make the scale alternate up and down about 20 lbs. Wasn't any good for me. This works fine except it came out of the box falling apart. Either Duck Tape or super glue should remedy that. Good luck in finding a private and maybe even noisy place for the sweet female voice to announce to the world your status. I'm just so tickled I haven't gained wait over the holiday!

To be honest I don't remember because I don't use that feature. If you've misplaced the owner's manual, go online to the DigiWeigh WeighMax website and they should have instructions for the model you have. Or Google WeighMax....model number....owners manual, and you should get results that help.

I had that scale for a few weeks only. It never worked properly, I tried on different surfaces around the apartment. It would show different numbers every time I weighed myself and it went dead in about a month. It's not reliable, so you can't really trust what the scale shows.

I'm having problems with that.. it just toggles between Lbs and KGs. How did you get it to change the numbers?

call customer service # in your book, sounds like you need to re calibrate it. LOL Get ready take to a gym, you need like 300 lbs of weight to calibrate.

I keep pressing the button underneath, and I have no idea why one method of measuring weight comes up and not another. However, I can use any of them easily, so it's not a problem to me. I suggest you contact the company and perhaps the mystery of why you can only get that onewill be solved. Aside from the fact that I don't control the weight indicator, I love this scale. I can easily pack it in and I weigh my food on the plate I'm going to use eating. It's really ingenious. I enjoy it.

Get the calibration weights. They are an absolute MUST with inexpensive scales. This one is pretty accurate. I reweighed the same mass 5 times and got the same reading each time.
