Muscle weighs more than fat.
If you start lifting weights and build more muscle you wont be losing as much weight right away. Give it time, don;t forget the cardio, and make sure to get the calories and protein you need to support the new muscle growth
Also as you add more muscle you will burn more fat just sitting there.
I would get a pair of jeans that are snug, and put them on each week after you weigh in (make sure they were washed). You might notice that your weight isn't going down but the jeans fit better.
NO NO NO........... Muscle is DENSER than Fat it does not weigh more.
Clearly you didn't read my second post.0
