Are these good results?

Okay around the last week of March I started not only cardio but weight training as well. My weight has decreased as much but my inches has. I wanted to see if I'm on track or if I'm behind and should try something different.

March 21st (around that week) is when I added weights to my program.

Since then I have dropped
6.5 pounds
Lost 3.5 inches in my stomach
Lost 2.25 inches in my chest

Since I'm new to this I wanted to get feedback on how you think I am doing. I was hoping for more weight but I guess with weight training you're building muscle as well. Anyway, any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Current workout routine:
Cardio 50 minutes a day/5 days a week
Weight Training 3 days a week

Re: Are these good results?

What were your stats to begin with? That sounds like good achievments. What is your ultimate goal. Also you may want to post your schedule in more detail as it may help others getting started.

Re: Are these good results?

Everything looks good to me. I wouldn't worry so much about the weight as opposed to how you look and feel (the inches).

Like you eluded to, you can weight 160 lbs then loose 10 lbs of fat and gain 10 lbs of muscle. You will weigh exactly the same but you will look and feel a heck of a lot better. You will look slimmer though, because muscle id more dense and compact than fat.

Get yourself a body fat analyzer or have a personal trainer pinch your fat to get your BF %....and use that to gauge your progress.

RedMan- You are DEFINITELY doing well. You are losing weight and inches at a healthy rate. Be proud! Cardio 50 minutes five times a week and weights three times a weeks is perfect! Keep up the exercise and eat healthy and you willl keep seeing results! Good job!

Re: Are these good results?

Great job man, very good results as others have said. As you already know muscle weighs more then fat, so since you are also weight training, you should forget about a scale, instead invest in a camera and take pictures of yourself every two or four weeks, it may seem odd, but it is a much more effecient way to track progress.

Also though that is impressive that you are doing that much cardio it may not be necessary, what if you cut it down to three times a week, and worked more on intensity? I think you would be very happy with the results. Or maybe have 3 days of high intensity cardio, and two days for more relaxed cardio. Don't get me wrong that much cardio definitely can't hurt as far as weight loss, but I would give your legs a bit more rest, that way you can push them harder when you weight train in the gym, plus as I said you will likely be in just as good of a position if you go with higher intensity, of course this is just my non-expert opinion.

Great job
