    Exactly, Airbear3 you are on point. Don't worry the trim will continue the scale may not change much but if you are not also taking measurements you will lose your mind everytime you touch the scale. Just keep a small log. Arms. Waist, Chest, Thighs, Neck. Do this twice a month. When you start seeing these numbers raise and fall you will really be able to determine your Lean Progress.

    Muscle weighs more than fat. Adding strength training will start muscle building and toning which is always a good thing. No worries, as long as your clothes are starting to fit loose and your feeling good, then your body fat % is on the way down. Take some new measurements and track them, remember body fat percentage is a better benchmark than BMI or even the number on the scale.
