Muscle doesn't weigh more than fat anyways. One pound of fat weighs the same as one pound of muscle and weighs the same as one pound of feathers. One pound= One pound. Not the point of your post, but I have never understood the saying.
Good luck and keep doing what your doing. I agree when you work out hard, your muscles retain the water to repair. If I am feeling sore from workouts, I dont weigh myself, because I know it will be a higher number.
Muscle is denser than fat...so 1lb of muscle takes up less space than 1lb of fat. That's what that saying means...it's just being said wrong lol0 -
Throw away the scale.... Journal your food and exercise and your body will do what it is supposed to. Do not compare to anyone else we are all different. Eat healthy and exercise. If you do that you cannot fail. By the way, did I mention to throw away the scale?0
