lean muscle mass, the attractive, toned muscle. This is exactly the result you want because the more lean muscle you have the more fat your body can burn.
When weighing yourself keep in mind that muscle weighs more than fat. Don’t get worried if you have gained a little weight especially when you know you are eating right. This just means your body is changing as it eliminates fat.
My advice is to weigh yourself once a week , then hide your scale for the entire week. Use your clothing as a guide to your weight loss and don't get derailed by the number on the scale. The end result is that you will notice your clothes getting bigger, or rather you getting smaller.

Don’t set your “goal weight” to a weight that you think you will look good. Make sure the weight you set as your goal is not only realistic but also a weight that will allow you to live a comfortable and healthy life.
One method you can use to determine your 'goal weight' is to find a software program that will take your information and then provide you with a 'suggested' weight. A good program will adjust the different factors and give you a weight based on yoru age and other details..
