"Thumbs Up"! Letter to Editor of Choice Consumers Magazine, Jane MacKenzie Dear Jane, This is to tell you about a Thumbs Up! experience with Milner's Pty Ltd. This WA company (5-7 Glassford Road, Kewdale 6105) represents Tanita Corporation in Australia. Tanita manufactures body fat monitor scales in Japan. About 3 years ago my wife Pam (subscriber to Choice # 25723 CH 410) purchased a Tanita bathroom scale (Model BF-679) from David Jones at Carindale, Brisbane. In January this year the scale malfunctioned. Contact details were on the back of the scale so I phoned Milner's Pty Ltd and spoke to a Wendy Harris. She asked me to post the scale (reply paid) over to WA for checking. I explained we could not find the purchase docket. Furthermore Wendy said the serial number indicated the scale had just passed its 3 year warranty period. Within a few days we were told it was not repairable. But the good news was they would replace the scale at no cost to us. The new scale arrived the following week. In this day and age I think it's noteworthy to pass on to Choice what an excellent consumer experience we received from Milner's Pty Ltd, through their representative Wendy Harris. Sincerely Bob Pearson, Gumdale Queensland -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Well since June when I received my body fat scales I have jumped on them continually using it as a guide of how my training is going.... I just wanted to take this opportunity to tell you how much I love the product (especially considering it no longer gives me readings like my highest which was 27%) I am now recording levels less than 10% on a regular basis.... once again thank you for great service I recommend Tanita body fat scales to everyone. Today I got a job working at a health retreat as Boot camp organiser and I intend to use it on the clients out there to assess their body fat and water level."

The Hearthshop BC 545 Tanita Total Innerscan competition ( Adelaide SA) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lifestyle Medicine workshops provide GPs and Practice Nurses with education, guidance and strategies based on up to date research on dealing with lifestyle related illnesses and diseases such as Obesity, Type II Diabetes and Mental Health Disorders, just to name a few. The Tanita Professional Body Fat Monitor plays a crucial role in these workshops. Due to the accuracy, reliability and validity of these scales we are able to demonstrate to GP’s and Practice Nurses how to accurately differentiate between their patient’s fat mass and lean body mass. The Tanita Professional Body Fat Monitor then allows the professional to set realistic goals based on their patient’s “ideal body weight”, a formula developed from my research in obesity that ensures the goals are targeted towards fat loss instead of losing lean body mass, in other words, muscle.
