Man...down 1/2 lb is good but what a tiny change for all of the effort. Had to weight in 1 day early because I can't use the same scale tomorrow and it would only add in an unknown. I like to use a calibrated scale at work and not the piece of crap I have at home. The numbers change if you give it a nasty look!
I've become slightly psychotic at the gym surrounded by many college kids working either their biceps or fingers on their cell phone. I'm pressing through as fast and hard as I can and I push and pull until I can't move the weights anymore. I've heard many trainers say lift to failure and I do that as much as possible. It's not pretty but that's how it works.
I'll review my weight goals in a month but I think I'm working on conflicting goals (weight training and weight loss). I want the muscle and don't want the fat.
When I get time from my day job and night work with the home business I want to educate myself on the body building aspects. If anyone has any ideas for good reading on the subject I would be happy to hear.

There are many body building sites online and some magazines with good information. I don't think weight training and weight loss are conflicting goals. The more muscle you have, the more calories you burn at rest, the more easy losing weight becomes. Fat loss is a better goal than what the scale says, because you can be thin but carry too much fat. You will lose fat and the scale may not go down as fast as you want, but your sizes will go down quicker then if you don't exercise. I would include cardio a few times a week too (for your heart and burning calories).
