Weight went up a bit (bad with food still), but Fat and Muscle percentages are going in the right direction. The way my scale measures it is by Bioelectrical Impedance (
Bioelectrical impedance analysis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) - essentially measuring how much water your body has. Muscle has tons of water, fat has very little, so the better the signal conducts through your body, the more muscle/less fat you have. But how hydrated you are can affect the readings (and your weight for that matter) which is why I'm calculating weekly averages.
Maybe I should start taking body measurements every week to see if I'm getting smaller....
