    I think the majority of people are wanting fat loss over weight loss..

    I dont know about that. Most of the posts I have read lately have been from people looking to lose "15lbs in 5 weeks". I think there are a lot of people of don't know the difference to be honest.

    Fat loss! I'm losing at a pound a week (which I know i could do .5 if I really wanted to maximize muscle preservation but I'm not patient enough for that lol) and I lift heavy.

    I agree with you about people not knowing the difference. They get too caught up on numbers on a scale which is so arbitrary. I mean the same weight can look very different on different people.
