And to be completely honest i, too, doubt youre gaining muscle. Youre not eatig enough to repair the muscle you are damaging by the cardio and ontop of thay theres no weight training.
So, based on that tiny bit of information the poster gave you can GUARANTEE that her calories are to blame? Thats pretty ballsy of you. There are posters on this forum who lost 100 pounds or more eating 1200 calories per day. She's got enough bodyfat that her body is in no way suffering from "starvation mode" from reduced calories at this point. She did also state that her job requires lifting and moving for several hours, and all that activity is indeed weight-bearing, especially at her current weight. Are you telling me that people cannot gain muscle from bodyweight exercises only?
My point is that while the scale might not be moving MUCH, she is losing 1 pound per week and has noticed a significant decrease in INCHES and the way her clothes fit. Obviously she's doing something right, though I can't GUARANTEE it like some others can.
Op, keep doing what you're doing... it seems like you are making great progress to me.
