Answer:
Your doing Great! But remeber that the number on the scale doesnt tell you how FAT you are. If you keep working out you will loose fat cells and gain muscle tissue.
Becuase muscle is denser then fat it weights more.
I'm 5'6 and 142, and a serious athlete. So keep working out and eating right. but dont let the numbers get to you.
not enough protein, fiber, fats or veggies.
consuming calories from the right sources makes the difference between losing a lot of fat and a little muscle or a lot of muscle and a little fat. the purpose of "weight" loss should be maximum fat loss with minimal loss of lean body mass.
