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.

There are several things it could be - calories aren't in a deficit, too much cardio slowing your metabolism down. I think you'll find this post helpful:
