How about a lowend tech method of using a tape measure and an online
calculator like this one: http://www.biofitness.com/abodyfat.html
Like you said, its the downward trend that counts

A hand-held electronic bodyfat monitor, such as the kind made by Omron,
has consistently given me results very close to those obtained with
calipers and also with underwater weighing, while a scale has not. I
recommend you buy calipers as David suggest or at least have someone
with calipers measure you, and then see if the hand-held electronic
monitor will do what you need. Mine cost about $60.

So far as I know, the principle is the same as the scale, and the major
difference is that you hold it in your hands instead of standing on it. Why
it's more accurate, or even if it's more accurate for most people, is
something about which I haven't a clue, but it's definitely more accurate
for me and the few other people I've tested it on who also had had recent
caliper measurements all said it was within 1% of the calipers.

Partial electrocution or something like that.

Web search "omron body fat monitor" and you'll get the right thing - don't
know if there's any better info on it out there.

I am 45 years old and I am suffering from ED for many years. A close
friend of mine told me to go a web site http://www.canadadrugdepo.com
and they are selling many Ed drugs like Viagra, Cialis etc. You can't
imagine what a difference these drugs has made to my life. I have
become sexually active once again and enjoying my life. Check it out
today and reap the benefits at the earliest if you too suffer from ED..
