Tom, congrats on your strength training program! As a competitive powerlifter I can tell you that it’s possible the reason you aren’t losing scale weight (and the ‘scale’ part of important) as fast as you’d like is because you are offsetting fat loss with muscle gain. People who are new to lifting develop muscle much quicker than long time lifters (so called “newbie gains”), even on a low calorie diet. So that might be part of that’s going on for you. Not a bad problem to have!
good for you bro

Good on you with your dedication to your fitness. I always find when my body feels strong, my mind does too. All the best!
I’m exhausted just reading this I’ll stick to my yoga and walking but good on you Tom!
