Welcome back. 

0_o Uhhh. Muscle is what you want to gain, and maintain even especially when in a deficit. Plus, even though it’s a small amount, The more muscle you have the more calories can be burned from having muscle. If you’re gaining an average of .2-.5lbs a week, that’s muscle. Anything more then that, may be some body fat. Focus on your average weekly gains/loss. But don’t stop working out, you risk the loss of muscle for one and for two, it’ll be harder to reach your goal without exercise. So don’t be “afraid” of something good & you’ll be ok. 

DEADPOOL12345. Thanks. Never knew what to expect from the mysterious muscle gain factor. Can do N=1 soon .2-.5lbs range sounds good. chesgreen. Thanks man. We carry on :) 

You released them endorphins....great way to start the day  

Never heard of such a thing..You want muscle growth to counter fat..Your Tanita Machine will separate that for you in the read out. For realistic results set the machine on Standard Setting. 

It is not that easy to gain enough muscle to make a difference in your weight. Former body builder here and it takes a lot of focused, intense work to actually gain muscle-at least, enough muscle to impede your 'weight loss'. And it's nearly impossible if your exercise is cardio (in spite of what ads of exercise machines may tell you! If you are doing aerobic exercise, you are not working muscles against enough resistance to gain muscle!). Exercise. It's good for you, both cardio and muscle work. 

This morning I'm in the dark. Weight gain after exercise, undereating and fasting 20 hours. Had weight loss on the two recent days without exercise. Weird. Now pin a hope on that fat, muscle and water scale that will soon arrive.
