This is what the last year of maintenance has looked like for me. BF%, MM#, SM% and weight. It seems I gain weight and fat around the holidays which is fine. My visceral fat is down to 4 (was 6 when I started losing weight and 6 and under is good). My metabolic age is 36! It was around 40-42 when I started in 2018. (I’m 39 1/2). 

That is great! Do you find it similar to an actual scan? If covid leaves I really want to get one and compare. I hate the fact that it always shows my muscle mass as just a little lower than the norm yet in the norm. Today it says that I lost one whole pound of muscle!  

When we got it I compared to the scan results and it was a little off. Not near as much as hubbys omron scale though. This is from a RENPHO scale. It’s still just a formula however. I think anyway. Some days it’ll show I lost a lot of muscle or gained a lot of fat then changes back. The omron liars showed I was still over 30% BF and this shows around 22-23%. My scan had said 25% and the scale back then showed 23% I think. So again it’s a little off.  

Thanks for sharing! I was curious as to the difference. Sometimes we want to believe it and yet some things do not make sense. I also have a Renphro. I just wish it would at least show my muscle mass as being right in the middle or a little more. I think we all hope for at least normal. And of course some a lot more but they work for it!
