    Ugh, you're all so knowledgeable. Like "Look at me! I have knowledge and abs!"
    Blurgh and blah!
    I've already through no fault of my own posted my backside on an innocent woman's post...3 times. As long as I'm a sex offender on MFP I may as well repeat the crime.

    This comment is worthless without a link.

    He took 6 layers of skin off and pulled out his intestines.

    How do you measure weight lost when you're putting on muscle? I put on muscle incredibly easy, specifically in my lower body.

    You're probably not putting on muscle.
    It's hard and creates definition. It's either muscle or hardened jello.

    It's likely swollen muscle, not new muscle tissue.

    You should probably look at Bio-impedance scales that tell you your body fat %. While not terribly accurate, they give you a rough idea of where you are. http://www.nerdfitness.com/blog/2012/07/02/body-fat-percentage/

    How do you measure weight lost when you're putting on muscle? I put on muscle incredibly easy, specifically in my lower body. However I'm overweight and need to lose at least 20lbs, but the scale isn't really shifting.
    I've lost 5.5 inches off my body in the past week though.
    So should I ignore the scale and just measure? Bit confused here.

    Im in the same boat...without a paddle
