Plan is right, body fat scales are completely unaccurate and will never really give you the results you want to see. I have one and made a post just like this a little while ago pretty much, honestly, the best way to see your progress is measure around your chest and just watch your progress, im getting some calipers soon mainly because the scale is so unaccurate it makes me want to cry
Its so easy to screw up also, I can change my body fat by 5% in either direction just by breathing different and other things like that. Its good to get a minor estimation on results but if your body fat goes up instead of down but you lose weight and feel better, ignore the body fat.
I can step on it some days and be 19% BF and other days its up to 27% BF, mainly because, I lift weights run etc and my muscles are never 100% hydrated, it may give a accurate reading for someone who doesnt sweat much but getting your muscles 100% hydrated when you should be working out nearly all week is pretty tough.
