    To the OP, don't get discourage by the scale. It's only one way of measuring data. See how your clothes fit. (I regret buying dresses in a larger size from last season) IMO, compliments is more encouraging than the scale.

    Keep up the good work and good luck with your lifts!

    Thanks!

    To end the muscle/fat weight argument. We all know 1lb equals 1lb and that 1 of fat is larger then 1 of muscle but the problem with people using it for a reason the scale won't move is a completely wrong reason. If you were in a caloric surplus and taking in 2g of protein per lb of mass and training very hard you could only put on about 1/4 lb of muscle a week. On the other hand you can loose 2lb a week of fat (safely) in a deficit which would also almost stop muscle growth. In the end senecarr is most likely correct for why the scale isn't moving right now.

    weight are great and maybe throw in some hiit class, You will see more of a weight loss. Your intake is low and I'm surprised your lifting at such a low calorie intake. Don't let the scale discorage you. When I was loosing my clothes told me the weight was coming off even the the scale said something else. Good Luck.
