Muscle weighs more than fat.. that is why stepping on the scale is not a very good method to track your progress if you are losing fat.. this is because you will be losing fat and adding lean muscle mass at the same time perhaps. This can make your weight increase even though you are losing fat and improving.

Forget the scale and look at yourself in the mirror! Look at your waistline etc (take the diff mesurations)

If people don't see me and I tell them my weight, they think I'm fat....... (also when they realize all the things I eat! lol) Well I'm not fat......
