muscle v's fat

Just joined to keep me focused. Joined a gym 4 weeks ago and have really thrown myself into it. Attending 5 sessions per week 3 90-100 min moderate/high cardio sessions, a 90 min yoga class and a 60 min body balance class. I have been regulating my calories to 1400 day plus the calories I'm burning in activity. My weight remained static although I do feel more toned and my muffin top is definitley less noticable. Just weighed myself this morning and have lost 1kg overnight!!!!! is this ok????

I'm on maintenance calories now but used to regularly eat 1800 calls plus some of my exercise calories burned. I wear a heart rate monitor and stock up on carbs if I'm doing a lot of running or high intensity aerobics. I've also built up my exercise routine and do an hour every day.

Thanks for this, On hindsite I probably might be overdoing it. I was hitting 150 -170 bpm for some of my workout. Will ease back thanks

Thanks I think I prefer to measure fat loss though. My initial weight plateau due to over exercising has now moved. So far so good I'm noticing a daily reduction of .2kg/day. If I keep going at this rate I should reach my target weight by the end of October :)
