As you transform (especially if you are running gear) the number on the scale will not reflect the weight you are wanting to lose. I gained 12 lbs the first 6 weeks I started but my waist shrank. I wasnt running any gear but my body carries more muscle than most (6'3) if you are measurung numbers you will just waste your time. You aren't trying to get on a stage or compete. Just doing it to be a better version of you. Keep doing what you are doing bro. You'll get there.
