so if you do weight training, you don't think I'll gain from it? Because that is my worry. Like, how can I lose weight and lift weights to avoid skin hanging as much as possible if "muscle weighs more than fat"

Does what I'm saying make sense? I've been wondering but no one seems to understand what I'm talking about lol

IF I lose weight bc I am only eating 700 calories a day, right? but Im also lifting weights to build muscle, and muscle weighs more than fat, the scale would essentially stay the same, because im stuck. The pounds ( or fat) im losing by being on such a low calorie diet would be offset by the weight im adding by weight training. Make sense?

What is the solution ?

Keep weight training or wait until i get normal size and THEN weight train?

You're not going to add muscle/bulk with the limited calories we're getting at this stage. It will help you prevent losing the muscle you already have, though.

I guess it really comes down to which do you prefer:

- lose weight at a possible slower pace, but know you're losing mostly fat and little muscle

- lose weight slightly faster, but know you're losing both fat and existing muscle

I'm at the point where I'm willing to lose slower if it means preserving muscle, as I think I'm going to need the muscle to not look like a deflated balloon.
