Don't lose the faith!

It is very possilbe and most likely that you have put on muslce in place of your fat. Muscle is much leaner than fat and in perspective of size 1lb of muscle takes up about 2/3 less space that 1lb of fat.

I weighed in this morning at the end of my first 12-week challenge for BFL and was dissapointed to see that I'd lost "only" another 4lbs. BUT, at 200lbs I've never fit into size 14's and I am now. I can see the significant change in my shape even if it isn't showing up on the scale.

Don't fret so much about the scale weight (as hard at it is...) and concentrate on how the clothes, your body and your mind feel. Yes, I wish that I could see a bigger scale loss but I feel 100% better, look better and I can fit into clothes that I haven't taken out of my closet in two years.

Keep up the great work.... you'll stat to see a shift sometime. The other great benefit of muscle weight vs. fat weight is that muscles burn a lot more calories.
