It is unlikely that you will lose weight consistently (i.e., weight loss is not linear)

    I started my fitness journey about 4 weeks ago now. I been weight training for 6/7 days a week with 30 minutes of cardio per session. The scales have gone down only a kilo or so, but my clothes fit better and I feel great. Having been used to losing kgs quickly on traditional diet and cardio alone, it has been confusing not seeing the differences on the scale. Will my weight eventually decrease by doing weights and cardio? Or is better to lose the kgs and then step up the weights. I just really enjoy lifting and hope you say no. Thanks for the article though it has helped me realise I need to look at other ways of measuring success.

    Keep doing what you are doing. A new fitness program usually causes some water retention, which can be slow to go and mask fat loss, which is still happening. The fact that your clothes fit better is a good sign.

    I can confirm this pattern of weight loss on a consistent program; the graph is all over the place but the trend is down.
