Hi and welcome. Congratulations on your great weight loss.

Hey there! Working out at the gym will affect your weight loss, help you achieve a body shape you're happier with and more importantly help to make you healthier and happier. Muscle and fat are two different things, one doesn't turn into the other. Some people find that when they exercise initially their muscles grow and yes they are heavier, however you will burn fat. Stronger muscles help you burn fat for longer - even after you've left the gym! There may be a short term impact on your weight (you'll probably stall rather than gain) but it will even out long term.

p.s congratulations on your weight loss so far- you're doing brilliantly!

My goodness you are doing amazingly well your weight loss is great.

If you are not already I would love to see a weeks food diary and see your secret so far.

GO YOU
