It's interesting. I'm still dropping net weight since starting my program in March. I originally went down from 185 lbs. to 174 and stayed there for the longest time. The weight was consistent because I was gaining muscle while losing fat: an equal exchange.
However, I just weighed myself and I've dropped to 168: I've double and triple checked it over the past few days.
I'm still gaining muscle, and I might even be at my strongest ever. So it looks like I'm seriously burning fat still, which is odd because I thought it would have slowed down when my body fat percentage dropped to around 14% a few months ago.
It's fascinating what high-intensity weightlifting and regular cardio will do over time.

BTW, kudos Warrrreagl and amonkie. You're doing great!
