The Goal To Eat Healthier

It's a lofty and attainable goal. I try hard. I've basically given up alcohol (I've had about a dozen beers since early January), walk away from fast food, try to eat the veggies, add protein shakes to make up the difference. Yet still I have trouble losing weight.
I've been going to the G-Y-M regular for 2+ years. I've ramped it up quite a bit in last two months, typically going at least 5x per week. I do weights and cardio. Different says means different things.
So while I have lost weight (lb-wise) it's not all that much I think. But when you look at SoulSlam you can definitely see a difference. A lb is a lb. But from my looking into, a lb of muscle takes up 4x less space than a lb of fat. That's me.

So people say "you've lost weight!". Not really, I've just changed. I used to stress about losing weight. Now I stress about getting bigger.
