17, male, down to 192 from 240.5 r2p2!!!

Quick question, im used to losing like 1-1.5 pounds per day and all the sudden i have been losing only .5 pounds every day.
BUT i have been doing heavy lifting and yard work every day so am i just gaining muscle and still losing actual fat?

thanks just a concern of maybe im gaining muscle and the #'s are compensating or i need more protein or something !

Your muscles are likely retaining water and lactic acid from the exertion. You'll be gaining muscle if you do heavy lifting, but it takes a very long time to gain muscle.

The average daily weight loss is .5 to 1 lb a day, with men losing toward the higher end of that range. As you get closer to your healthy weight, your weight loss slows down. You are closer to goal and so the loss is slowing.

I assume you are following Dr. Simeons guidelines exactly, and no variation would be contributing to slowing losses, right?
