The Nutrishop store up the street does a 2-3x a year challenge for getting into shape. I've been going there for years to get a few supplements here and there and go almost daily to get a protein bar or some jerky and an energy drink. I never bothered to enter until the latest one. One of the workers talked me into it, it's free and the top 3 win stuff. I think 1st place is a $300 gift card. I didn't enter with any thoughts of even trying to win. I was just curious. I forget the model, but they have a fancy, expensive Inbody machine. They do bi weekly weigh ins and I just did the 2nd. My results both times were all green, which they say is good. But I feel like they're a little over hyping my results to keep me motivated. I have been logging everything I eat in Lostit, I've been eating less calories and a lot more protein and doing cardio a few days a week. I don't think they're lying to me, but I'm not buying my results are as good as they're telling me. Here are my numbers for anyone who understands this stuff.
9/30 is when I signed up and initial weigh in:

Weight: 175.80 lbs
SMM: 74.52 skeletal muscle lbs
BFM: 39.99 body fat lbs
PBF: 22.8% body fat

DLM: 35.49 lbs
This machine cost a lot and they claim it's very accurate, they're telling me my weight staying the same isn't important, it's about the BF and the muscle gained. That makes sense to me, but I feel they're overhyping my results. The guy today said if I keep at this pace I should be in the running for a top 3 spot. There are probably 100 people in this, and I know some are hitting the gym and busting their ass. I'm eating less, eating slightly healthier and doing cardio and a few minutes of pushups 3x a week. So I'm definitely not pushing myself. So my weight is practically identical, but they're saying the drop in BF and muscle I've put on is what I should be focusing on.
So after signing up just because I was bored, I feel like this could be something. There's another 6 weeks to go (I think) and now they have me motivated to apply more effort and see what I can really do. For anyone here who understands all these numbers, what's your honest opinion? I don't have a real grasp here, so seeing my skeletal muscle going up 2.85lbs when I haven't done anything strength wise, I'm almost believing their hype lol. I understand 2.8 is a low number but the fact I'm losing fat and putting on muscle is at least something.
This caused me to look up one of those machines, I knew they'd be expensive but WOOOOOO!
