Fat loss comes from what and how much you eat. You’ll have to eat well and make sure you’re eating at a deficit.

Gaining muscle requires you to work against progressive resistance and eat enough to build muscle and fuel additional workouts.

These are slightly conflicting goals. You can do both, especially early on, but it is easier to focus on one and try to hold the other one as close to as is as you can (e.g., lose fat while retaining muscle).

Thanks for your feedback. I started the Lizabeth bootcamp and it consists of alot of strength training along with plyometric exercises. They also have us on a clean diet....sticking to it is the hardest.

Another viable option, since you only have 9lbs to lose, is recomp - eat at maintenance, sufficient protein, lift heavy. This is a longer process that will let you lose fat and gain muscle. You won't see much movement in the scale but your body composition can change quite a bit.

so do we have to become a different species or does this require surgery?

I hope not....I am noticing with heavy lifting and eating clean is changing my body composition.

Is that a statement or a question?

Eating "clean" has nothing to do with body composition.
