This is just under 5lb (4.85lb) of muscle compared to the same in fat.
When we lose a pound of fat, we don't give ourselves much credit. But we should, and,
we should use that loss to motivate ourselves to
lose more!
The thing is, fat loss is good, but weight loss not so much. Just look at that muscle... A visibly smaller sized lump of tissue, weighing just as much as that massive lump of fat.
Muscle is capable of burning more calories, strengthening you and keeping you healthy and living longer. It also gives you definition aesthetically.
We should strive for more muscle. But, this can mean gaining more GOOD weight! This is why its important to keep track of your body composition with the help of your PT. Checking how much muscle you have grown vs how much fat you have lost is important, NOT necessarily just the number on the scales.
