Hi Guys - So ~4 weeks ago I started going to the gym (again) and getting my diet in order (again) to lose some fat/weight. Things have been going well. I'm seeing improvements so that keeps the drive going to continue. What is odd is that I've already lost about 3/4th of an inch off of my waist and gut. But when I step on the scale, it seems like I've actually gained 2lbs. And it's not something where it's just a daily fluctuation or water weight as I've checked a few times over the last week and it's no fluke.
Am I building muscle and loosing fat at the same time? I thought it was one (fat loss) or the other (muscle gain, but not both. Though in the Fat Loss Sticky, it does say it is possible, though 'rare' for this to happen and last. In my several years of dieting, I could never rely on my scale as often I'd be losing fat but the lb # on the scale would never move. Taking pics and measurements was the only indicator of which direction things were going.
Thoughts?
(Sorry if this is the wrong forum. Wasn't sure where else to put it.)
