Weight loss and fat loss is not the same thing. You ought to learn to distinguish between the two. The scale can be very misleading if it’s the only criteria you use for measurement.

Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle will clarify to you all the common methods of body fat testing and teach you how to use body fat to measure your results and chart your progress.
