Welcome guys!

a few tips that i keep in mind is that muscle burns fat and it also weighs more, so when you start pulling in those weights, don't be surprised if you start gaining inches or weighing more after a little while. It's easier to lose the weight, especially fat, when someone is heavier, it's when you are closer to your normal weight that it gets hard and hit a plateau, and that's when you need to switch up your routine.

remember that if you do the same workouts for a long period of time, your body will start to adjust and therefore you won't lose much, it's important to switch it up and do interval training.

Good Luck guys, if anything you guys can add me for more tips, if you want we are all in this journey together. MFP Is FULL of supportive people.

Correction - a pound is a pound is a pound...muscle doesnt weight more than fat. its just much more dense than fat so obviously the more muscle you build...the scale may seem that you gained weight.
