At my gym, they have this fancy machine that measures all kinds of stuff (electrodes on your feet and hands). It produces a detailed report and BMI is sort of listed off in the corner and not emphasized.
Electrodes on your feet? That sounds equally b-s.

So I was 140 ilb and 29%, then 130 and 27%, but now I'm 133 and 26%. Is this a victory? Could I be losing fat and gaining muscle or water weight? What is your BMI versus fat %?

you could definitely be putting on some muscle, but it is hard to tell from a 3 lb change in weight and a 1-3% change in body fat. Body fat measurements aren't' 100% accurate and scale weight fluctuates for any number of reasons.
how are your measurements looking? Are you also taking pictures to track progress?
