Doesn't look like she has much fat on her to begin with.
Yeah, this is just an excuse to see how voltron's belt would look on a hot model.
Yeah, Neil Patrick Harris would tap that.
@teej
I would...but I doubt Neil would as he's openly gay. But maybe she'll switch him back :)

my point exactly.
Oh, PLEEEZE, like she needs to check her body fat. Why didn't they get a model that actually needed to be tested?
You're saying you'd be more pleased to see a fat chick in that photo?
Athletes need it more than fatties.
just to make you feel fat
I'd scan it.
Patient: " Look doctor, i'm paralysed and can't move, i'm fat and i don't really care to i have to know exactly how fat i am?
Doctor: Yes, this machine was very expensive.
The machine looks like something out of Star Trek: The Next Generation. Didn't Crusher use one of those? So why is the model in the picture holding her breast, so it doesn't register as body fat?
she probably has her hand on her chest area so that the machine doesnt scan her arms/hands and only focuses on her midsection. she's look like an idiot if she had her arms dangling over the edge of the bed...
"Click on to the read link for lots more pictures -- if you can muster the will power, that is."
Sorry engadget, I need someone to invent something that does that for me
Is she lifting her bxxxx with both of her hands?
That's exactly what I was going to post.
Haha.
Maybe it's some kind of side effects they don't want to tell you.
The damn machine is in the way - I cant see!
google translates it? haaa ha... has anyone read it and not just looked at the pics?! laughable. Machine translation sucks and it has since the 60's...
Haha! Yeah! It says the body weighs 2.6 kg, and I totally thought they were talking about the model for a sec!
Do I see a bulge???
Nope. That's a sausage wallet. :)
No, that's a mons pubis. After you've been with a woman, you'll learn to recognize it. It's quite nice.
yeah man... R is def correct.

Just for your information, BMI is a function of your height, weight, and "frame size". It has nothing to do with your body fat percentage, and is in fact an awful way of measuring how overweight or underweight you are. Body fat percentage is far superior.

Why did you steal my nick?
Poor form Mike... poor form.
If they plan to release that in the USA I think it needs a larger diameter :P
Wow, There's some fantastically bad Engrish in the read link:
"Tanita Corporation President and CEO of谷田Daisuke, said at the presentation of a "20th century tobacco and tackle century, but the 21st century is the century of obesity and tackle," said the mast to measure the need to appeal. なお、本製品は業務用の製品となるが、一般家庭向けの展開については「今のところは考えていないが、出してみて要望が強くなれば考える」としている。 In addition, this product is for products and services, a home for the expansion of the "Right now it is not considered a request to try out strongly consider it," he said."
Ohhh Me So Skinny!
I hope they've planned into making an XXXL or bigger size. Considering how large some people in the States are, I don't think this unit is going to cut it. But, at that weight, what's the point. You're automatically considered, in the words spoken to Eric Cartman "a fat ass." So you won't need a machine to prove the obvious.
I can measure that with a better scale:
Hot!---------------------Urg
all the way to
Engadget should publish a magazine: EHM? Or EFHM?
ok.. we need to reexamine tanita.. tanita is really a Tom if you catch my drift... look closely
What a poorly angled photo. I can only speculate how large her breasts are.
they have a different angled shot on the read link...

I'd scan her myse....wait..// Is that a penis?
if you are using that...you are already too fat
Who wears a pad in workout clothes? or he/she really is packn'
68 cm for waist???
That's 27 inches for her waist.
That's gotta be wrong.
I was thinking more like 24.
Tanita...I use to know a girl with that nickname.No relation at all?
Lol at the comments ^_^...
I definitely see a bulge there, maybe the upper half is a female midget and the lower half is another midget thats a guy. Or maybe shes a robot. Or maybe this had been shooped.
Is she wearing a sports cup?!
It's possible she didn't have an appointment with Mrs. Wax or Mrs. Shaver.
wow, there are a lot of guy here who never ever saw a naked woman, and that in the time of internet porn ... truly amazing ...
anyway, i realy don't care about that machine, but more pictures of her would be highly appreciated. "Click on to the read link for lots more pictures" got my very interested just to disappoint totaly ...
Choob!
