So I took my last progress pics three weeks ago. I took the new ones last night. I have only lost a pound since then, but I think I can tell why. As they say muscle weighs more than fat. Maybe I am just optimistic, but I think I see a difference (other than the hair lol). What do all of you think? I have increased my weightlifting days to four a week from two. Cut out one day of cardio, but thinking about adding it back. Here are the pics...

MFP also told me to make sure I eat enough calories. My five week weight prediction....

    So you can see all of the picture? For some reason I can only see a little more than half on my computer.

    I've only lost 1 pound too on the scale, yet I've gone done an entire clothing size from weightlifting. Keep up the great work!

    @robin-you say that joking, but it is true. I have tested the theory. Usually when I weigh in I am soaked with sweat and all that hair held it in making me weigh just that much more lol
