Love it! 🌞 

🤔 

Well put. 

Yes. What about the old saying (you loose weight first before you bulk backup with muscles)? 

Yeah, that's a bad idea. If you lift whilst losing fat you will be able to keep or gain muscle at the same time. There is no reason to wait. 

I WISH I had started lifting sooner. I'm pretty sure some of the weight loss I saw while increasing running volume was LBM. I'm not losing weight so fast now that I resistance train and I think that's a very good thing. I look better now than I did without it.  

Yeah, lifting takes some of the scales power over you, back. If you do it while losing fat, your original goal weight may be too small. I never thought I would look the way I do in my profile pic at 195 pounds. 195 pounds used to sound obese and according to BMI, it is. The mirror says different. 

Yep. I think the scale can be a decent guide for people just getting started who don't resistance train at all or exercise very much. After that, it's probably better to start making judgments based on what you see in the mirror, your measurements and blood work, instead of total weight/BMI.
