> Dont worry so much about your weight, as much as how much better you look as time progresses. Muscle weighs more than fat, and when you burn fat/put on mass your weight will stay the same, or you may even gain a little weight. This throws ALOT of people off, including myself. When I workout hard I wanna see the gains on the scale, and when you dont its like WTF!

Good point about not focusing on the scale all the time. I definitely feel a lot better and I see the waist sizes coming down and all that so I know I’m doing something ok. I just don’t think I’m lifting enough to really “put on” muscle so I tend to measure “gains” by actual weight lost.

I tend to think it’s better to lose as much fat as possible first while minimizing amount of muscle lost- then try to build up later after reaching a nice low BF %. Is this right!?
