Fat Layer

I have been logging calories accurately, as well as working out very hard. I feel muscles below my fat layer, which isn't all that huge, but it's STILL a layer of fat. Yuck! I'm losing weight, but not really inches. Has anyone else had this problem? And how did you rid yourself of the blubber so that you can actually see the beautiful muscles below???

Thanks!

  • Keep at the deficit, and eventually the layer of fat trims away. The closer you get, the harder it is to come off, sadly. Just patience, exercise, and deficit ... Best of luck.

    Well, it's quite simple as I think you know.

    Calorie deficit reduces fat and muscle. Progressive compound lifting programme biases losses towards fat loss (when in a deficit)

    Keep it up, keep logging and keep measuring. You'll get there eventually.

    I just read this and I have a question. What is a progressive compound lifting program? I like OP am trying to lose fat while building muscle, but I am eating at a deficit and noticing loss of fat/muscle gain. But I always like to know new things.
