    In about a months time I have went to 156 to 143. I don't really know what to think of this because I have actually moved up in weights that I have been lifting. Also there really wasn't too much fat on my body to be losing so I'm a bit concerned. Does anybody have any insight?

    Did you weigh yourself at the same time of the day and on the same set of scales both times?.similar clothing? with or without shoes on? etc etc

    As a fighter in training i used to weigh in first thing every morning,right after i had taken a pee and had a crap to find my true weight. Its surprising just how much food and water in your system can affect the weight factor.

    If you weigh in at say 8 pm at night after having had a good stuffing of breakfast lunch and tea without having evacuated your bowel and bladder.....well its is another thing to factor in when trying to find your true weight IMHO:rasta.

    Your weight is 100% down to your nutrition.

    He isn't burning too much energy, he's not eating enough food. Why post about over training?

    What, are you kidding? He already mentioned that he didn't have a lot of bodyfat, so the drop in bodyweight must be attributed to something else. Probably muscle breakdown (Catabolism) which can be caused by overtraining. He also mentioned that he increased resistance. If he uses the same workload as before, he would be expending more energy and if he didn't increase his carb intake proportionally, catabolism kicks in. So why did I post about overtraining? Probably because I thought it was relevant?

    Besides, your statement is a contradictio in terminis since if you train without eating enough food, you're burning too much energy by definition.
