Try letting your clothes be a better indicator of your weight loss than your scale. A scale won't tell you that your fat has been converted to muscle, it will only tell you what you weigh. Your clothes will start fitting looser and you'll see more definition in your calves, thighs, etc.
Keep doing what you're doing, and the scale will start to show the weight loss you want. It just takes more time for it to do so. |
Muscle doesn't actually weigh more than fat - a pound is a pound. However, muscle is more condensed than fat and so you can lose fat, but still weigh the same. And you will know if you are doing it the right way because your clothes will fit so much better.
