However, if you want a number, I'd suggest you go to your doctor and get a body fat percentage. Even though that's not the most accurate either, it's still the best of them all. Muscle is an enormous factor in your weight. In only 8-12 weeks of resistance training you can gain up to 3-4 pounds in muscle!! & muscle is the best thing to have because every pound of muscle increases your caloric intake by about 30-40 calories! Please, don't be too concerned by what the scale says. I have friends who are the same height & weight as me yet I'm much thinner then they are because I have a lot of muscle! So relax and keep up with your resistance training!
