 do you wanna lose weight or do you wanna look your best possible stunning shape? i'd go for the way i felt in my body - fit and energetic rather than lethargic and having trembling legs and not being able to run after a bus or get to 2nd floor taking the stairs.and there' no way you build an excessive ammount of muscle unless you're on a bodybuilder's exercise programme. i used to train 7 hours a day ( i played a ball game proffessionally - and i always was skinny but with a bit of muscle, and weighting 70kg. get a personal trainer to explain to you how it works....

But because muscle weighs more than fat its going to be difficult to reach my goal of weight

 When i gave up smoking, started using the lateral thigh trainer & started calorie counting to max of 1200 per day all at the same time, i didnt lose a pound on the scales after 4 weeks, i was gutted! Then i realised the fat was turning to muscle. Within a couple more weeks the pounds started coming off on the scales too, before i knew it i had lost half a stone. Thats all i needed to lose really & i went back down to a normal 10 from a 12.
If you exercise & calorie count you will inevitably lose weight. The important thing is how you feel though. Its not always good to step on the scales more than once a week.

 Don't look at the scales, look at how your clothes fit. Your "muscles" may weigh more on the scales, or about the same as before, but you'll be trimmer and leaner regardless. Exercise is key. It keeps things firm and compact (smaller waistline, trimmer thighs etc.) The number on the scale can be deceiving but if you're fitting into clothes you couldn't wear before because they were too small, then you're on the right track. Good luck.

Like the scale may show that you are the same weight as before. But you'll drop from your current dress size to a smaller dress size.

 You will lose weight because, though muscle weighs more than fat, it also consumes more calories to be maintained. And then, if you gain, say, five pounds of muscle, but drop ten pounds of fat, that's your gain.

 Go to a local gym and ask about exercise routines or just go for a walk everyday for about an hour. And of course eat healthily.
I hope you reach your goal =]
