Hey everyone! Good to meet you all! Got a question - How does one recognise or know that they are losing fat instead of muscle loss? Also, how did you determine your goal weight? Should one be targeting the ideal weight for their height?

My scale estimates fat vs muscle percentage. Not very accurate, but it helps track trends. All weight loss involves muscle loss, but strength training helps minimise it.

The Renpho scale is great, affordable, and pairs to a phone. Available on Amazon.

My doctor gave me a goal weight. I hope protein intake and weight lifting preserve muscle.

You can pick your own goal weight and adjust as you get closer. Make sure to get enough protein and lift weights to minimise muscle loss.

You’ll notice if you’re losing muscle because your body will look less toned and more saggy. High protein and weight training can prevent the "melting skin" appearance.
