weight loss and muscle gain..

Velasca Posts: 441 Joined: 2006/10/26	2006/11/06, 06:42 AM hello.. ive lost 40# since February, and just within the last few weeks i have joined a gym and started incorporating weight training every day into my routine of lifestyle change..I also do between 30-40 mins of cardio everyday.. This past week I didnt loose any weight and i have consistently lost 1# or more a week for a long time.....my question is, can i really gain muscle this fast that it would effect my weight loss or did I just have a rough week? -------------- We should conduct ourselves not as if we ought to live for the body, but as if we could not live without it.
