For the last three months I've been lifting weights 2-3 times a week, doing an hour of hiking up local mountains 2-3 times a week, and a jiu jitsu class once a week.

I've lost maybe 3 lbs.

You may have lost more than that in fat and gained some muscle.

The goal of exercise or diet shouldn’t be to lose weight; it should be to increase fitness and to decrease body fat percentage.

My chest, shoulders and arms are bigger, but still pot bellied. Gonna take forever to get rid of that.
