hope this ? makes since
thanks

The scale can be misleading. When you're weightlifting, you might not lose weight because you're building muscle. Now muscle might weigh more than fat, but it's a lot smaller.
You might want to measure your progress by measuring inches and BF% in additition to the scale.
I find that fitting into a smaller pair of jeans is a truer measure of my progress than the scale. I try to buy one pair that is a size too small whenever I restock my wardrobe.
