    While muscle is composed of mostly water, water loss is not the same as muscle tissue loss. If you're losing water and looking better/more cut, that's great. If you are maintaining your lifts and not losing strength, I doubt you are losing muscle.

    Having said that, 19lbs of weight loss in 2 weeks is not healthy. IDK what you're doing, but i'd switch it up ASAP. I can deal with a big number the first week due to water loss, but that shouldn't continue week after week. If you are dialed in and really losing bodyfat, 2lbs is the absolute most i'd want to see. If you keep going at this rate, I suspect you WILL lose muscle which would be a shame IMO.

    I hear you on this, but I am still lifting same weight, I may up some meals, but this is the first time I had a really strong forcus of losing pounds, and I am sure I am losing water, but my gut has went down crazy, I am starting to see outlines of what I may call abs.


    And I know 2lbs a week is what I am looking for and maybe from here on in that is what going to happen, but I havn't even started cardio yet, just lift everyday and eat same everyday with one cheat meal a week.

    So hopfully this will pick up, cause losing more muscle will suck, water I fine with that.

    But like I said at ork I am moving crazy, never stop keep going and I try to do thing hard and faster so I can put my cardio at work. I would like to put one of them cal step counter on and see what I am losing, cause I am sure at work I am losing most of my weight.
