Muscle is more dense (and compact) than fat. If you are exercising along with dieting, you are probably adding lean muscle mass (a good thing), and have lost more than 4 pounds of fat. Muscle is metabolically active, and will help you burn more calories even at rest.

Since I began to ignore my relationship with gravity (the scale), and shifted my focus to how my clothes fit & how I liked what I see in the mirror, my progress has increased exponentially. Guideline: 1 inch in the waist equals approximately 7 pounds of loss. [I said approximately folks; please don't attack me.]

And...... 1 pound per week is a safe way to lose the weight, and keep it off. Keep up the good work.

That is a very healthy rate of weight loss. 1 lb/week. Congratulations!

Congrats! I reached the four-pound mark this morning, and in about the same amount of time as you, so it looks like we're at the same pace. Keep it up! I've always found that writing down what I eat makes all the difference, and this web site makes it so easy! I love MFP!
