    Okay, here's some strange math...
    In mid-April I weighed myself. Since then I have been lifting 3x week. In the last three weeks I have been getting about 90 minutes of cardio per week. I dropped 18 pounds between mid-April and mid-May. Today I weighed myself and my weight is uP 15 pounds.
    My diet is actually better than when I started and work schedule is the same.
    What gives? Defective scales?

    It's called muscle mass my friend, and that is good...you're replacing water and fat with muscle, with burns calories much more efficiently...muscle weighs more so you're bulking up, which is excellent news!

    I seldom use a scale, it's how you are proportioned...sounds like your program is doing what it's supposed to...you lost the fat, now you're replacing it with muscle.

    Yeah, sounds like you may have put on muscle. You could also be retaining water. I use those electronic scales and weigh myself almost every day at the same time. Currently I'm 65 kilos and 17.4% fat. In reality, I'm likely less than 17.4 %, probably more like 12.4. If i change no other setting on the scales than my age and tell the scales I'm 25 they tell me my fat content is around 12.

    The scales are a great way to keep on top of what's happening. Even though the fat content (and water, bone) may not be accurate, they ARE accurate as far as if fat etc is going up or down. So while today I may be 17.4% body fat and tomorrow I may be 17.8, even though in reality I may be 12.4 and 12.8, as far as losing and gaining they are accurate.

    I wish to get to less than 17% (12%) by spring and maintain 65 to 66 kilos (i.e. lose fat and gain or maintain muscle).

    I go Monday-Thursday, take Friday off. Every Sat is a long WOD at the box with no strength component. Sometime I go to open gym on Sundays to work on form no heavy weights unless I missed a day during the week and then I will do the WOD that I missed. Every Thursday is work your weakness. So it's a 40 minute EMOTM. (every minute on the minute) Sometimes I use it to work on movements that I need work on and sometimes I use it as a long hard workout like I did today. I eat paleo for the most part with an occasional treat. I use Progenex More Muscle for my morning drink and after my workout I use Progenex Recovery. (I drink it within 15 minutes of finishing the workout). Anymore questions feel free to ask, hope this helps.
