By purely unscientific measurements (the way my clothes fit, what the scale says, and how much I can lift), I'm gaining muscle at about the same rate I'm losing fat.
From November of last year until about a month ago, I had been in fat-loss mode. I love roughly 25lbs and dropped about 3" from my waist. Recently I've started hitting the weights a bit harder to try to add some lean muscle, and I'm starting to see some results.
I've never really done a legitiamate workout routine, so this is all kind of trial and error for me. When the crappy weather gets here and I'm stuck inside more often, I'll probably buy some more equipment (dumbells, a flat bench, or maybe a legitimate home gym... we'll see). But for now, I'm just trying to get the bugs worked out of my routine... find out what I can do and how often, that sort of thing.
I'm really happy with how things are going.
