I'm not losing weight at boot camp!

I always hear people say that muscle weighs more than fat. MUSCLE DOES NOT WEIGH MORE THAN FAT! A pound of feathers is the same weight as a pound of steel. The difference is that a pound of steel will fit in your hand. A pound of feathers may use up a garbage bag or something. It's the same thing with muscle. Muscle is much more lean and dense compared to fat. Look at the picture below and think about it. If you are a female who is weighing themselves every single day....STOP IT! Eat right, work hard during workouts and start paying attention to how your clothes begin to fit. Eventually you will start to lose weight...but it takes TIME! It is very common for people to either gain weight or stay the same weight during the first two weeks of a new workout program. You are replacing your fat with muscle...therefore you might be the same weight, however, you might lose an inch or so in other areas. Stay patient and put the scale away!
