My Tanita seems to get less accurate, the leaner I get. It was going down steadily, 17%, 16, 15, 14, 13. Now it pops up to 14 or 15 sometimes, despite the fact that I'm still the same weight and have a smaller belly...

I've heard others report that they tend to be more accurate for fatter and "average" people, unless you get one that has an Athletic Mode.
