I need to lose 8 inches off my waist and i need an answer from someone who weight trains.?
Out of my goal of 100 pounds i've lost 52 so far, but im really not worried about my weight in pounds anymore, so much as i want to look toned, and to look toned you must have a nice percentage of muscle mass so as to not look squishy. (you can lose all the weight you want but if theres no muscle underneath you'll always look flabby.) keep in mind i want to be toned, I dont plan on going to the extremes of a body builder, i just want to enhance my natural shape.I do cardio, I have a diet of a several small meals /day mainly lean meats and veggies high in protein. I love water, and I incorperate 6 pound dumbels into a small rountine.(i also take a multi-vitamin) What i want to know from those who train their muscles is: Even though i may weigh more than my target goal of 130, if i train my muscles more will I appear to look smaller quicker than if i do more cardio to burn fat? will i lose inches quicker?A girl i know weighs 175, about 5.6, and looks 130, because she weight trains

- Cardio burns calories while you do cardio. Weight training burns the same amount, HOWEVER it also builds muscle mass, which burns calories all the time, even while you sleep.
