	2004/02/24, 01:58 PM This is a chicken vs egg kind of question. You need to not worry about weight. What if your weight stays the same and you lose 8 inches off your waist? Would that be just as good? When you build muscle , thats what happens. Muscle is heavier than fat. Muscle also burns more calories than fat. Use your scales to check your progress a little but use your tape measure a lot. Do your diet homework here. Get into weight training and cardio. Lift heavy, eat right, rest properly and be patient. Fill out your profile so folks here can help you better. Welcome to FT and good luck!!! -------------- Some times life is like herding cats. Charlie

Your trying the impossible or near impossible, extra calories build muscle, cuting calories( little) get rid of body fat. You can either mass up know, then cut up later , or lose weight and build mass later. Personally I would rather build some good quality mass, then cut up, than be cut up and just skinny lol but thats me -------------- .......adversity causes some to break, but others to break records! ......minds are not vessles to be filled, but fires to be enlightened ......Confucious once said ,DO NOT play leap frog with a unicorn
