It's tough to see the scale go up even though my friends are telling me it's muscle. Such a mental block in my head.

    If you are gaining, it is fat and muscle.

    Keep working at it and yes, be prepared to be really patient. Make sure you use other tools to track your progress - how your favourite shirt fits, being able to get into jeans that you haven't been able to button for a while, sleeping better, increasing what you lift, a measuring tape etc.

    All of these things are little arrows pointing to the bigger picture so be sure to take notice of them and be encouraged by them.
