Hi again loseit.

30 years old male. I'm almost halfway through my intensive (intensive for me: 1000-cal deficit + everyday workout) weight loss program. 

I started at 210 pounds on July 25th and I was at 190 this morning, which means that weight-wise, I'm a bit ahead of schedule. (The goal was to reach 170lbs by Christmas). Never felt so great!

I don't really care about the scale though so today I took my measurements for the first time. 10cm (4in) gone off my chest / moobs! Hips didn't shrink though but what's scaring me is that my arms and legs also have shrunk quite a bit. However I'm doing strength weight training and I felt like I gained muscle...

I was actually expecting them to be bigger before the tape told me otherwise... Is it possible to gain muscle mass while losing weight like this? How?
<bot>: Losing weight at a good pace but also losing arms and legs where I'm working hard to build muscles mass. Is it possible to do both at the same time? (Muscles + Weight loss)
