Guest guest Posted February 9, 2003 Report Share Posted February 9, 2003 That means that all the weight you've lost has been fat! That is terrific! Laurie Weight loss vs muscle gain Ok, I just used 's BF calculator and it says I've lost 11 pounds of fat and gained 0 pounds of muscle. Does this mean I'm losing muscle or I'm just at a standstill at this point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2003 Report Share Posted February 9, 2003 Nope! And, JMHO, I would take it with a grain of salt. It is safe to assume that you've built a pound or two of muscle in that time too. You can't be doing the BFL workouts without getting at least a BIT fo muscle. You have to remember that these scales/calcultors ar all based on averages of sizez/people's measurenments. What did it say that your bodyfat is now, what was your starting bodyfat? What are your current and your starting weights? Laurie Weight loss vs muscle gain > > > Ok, I just used 's BF calculator and it says I've lost 11 pounds > of fat and gained 0 pounds of muscle.

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2003 Report Share Posted February 9, 2003 You promise? I started at 169, 43% BF. Now I'm 158.5 and 39% BF > > That means that all the weight you've lost has been fat!

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2003 Report Share Posted February 9, 2003 Definitely-- here you go! You started out at 169 and 43% bf. That gave you a lean mass of 96.33 pounds and the " non-lean " rest weighed 72.67 pounds. Now, however, at 158.5 and 39%, You have a lean mass of 96.69 pounds and your " non-lean " is 61.81 pounds. Your lean mass has gone up slightly (around 1/2 pound) at the same time as your fat went down by 11pounds. That is terrific!! It is really hard to gain muscle and lose fat at the same time. The trick is to not lose lean mass while you are losing fat, and you have done that. So, whatever you are doing, keep doing it!!
