Did you know that fat takes up to 4 times more space than muscle?? Which means that you can drop a dress size and still not actually lose any weight! So losing weight, exercising, will also build muscle mass as well as losing weight, so those weeks that you worked your butt off and get on the scales, and you have only lost a small amount, not lost anything, or even gained a small amount, you have probably added some muscle along with losing some fat. So don't lose heart, muscle tissue require more energy to use so in the longer run it will burn more fat for you :)
You know if your body is losing fat and gaining muscle, take your measurements before you start: your Waist, Hips, Upper and lower thighs, and flexed biceps. For someone planning to put on muscle, you probably want to also take your shoulder width as well, but for my purposes it wasn't necessary.
I will update my measurements every couple of weeks to show you the cms I have lost over the time - Don't expect much from the lower thigh. Measurement is for circumference.
