question fat loss vrs muscle gain

[oulike2lift]

Merry Christmas to all..

I have a question..

I recently have went through a very tough "D" divorce and got away from training, diet ect.. I am a good 30 lbs over and fairly out of shape.
I quit drinking soda 8 days ago drinking 80 oz water a day and really changed my diet eating the right food with some ON whey, oats, tunafish, chicken breast ect.. multi vitiam with fish oil..I am also using hyroxycuts hardcore lightly.. I walk 3 .5 miles a day on a treadmill at a pretty good pace.. and a fair work out 3 times a week.. adding more each workout.

My question is.. can walking that much every day and the workouts add enough muscle to counter fat loss? I am only expecting 2-4 lbs a week loss.. but it seems that I'm lossing fat but not showing on the scale.

HAPPY WISHES

Thanks for the answers

The scale is just another tool for mapping progress, but it could be detrimental when only looking at numbers. If you see results in the mirror, thats what counts. I mean, if its not visual, how useful is it going to be?

Scale = tool, Not an only means to an end.

do girth measurements + weight.

if your stomach girth in particular is dropping, but your weight is the same, fantastic, you've got fat loss and muscle gain. I've been training a client for 2.5 months, big visual change, no weight change, he is very happy.

use visuals as well.
