I honestly don't understand why people get so hung up on weight. It's something fatties do.
If you're losing fat, and gaining muscle, that's what you want to do. Who really gives a shite about weight at that point?
Look for your results in the mirror, not on the scale.

Congrats on the weight loss
Thanks. I've kept it off for 2 years, but I need to motivate myself to finally finish the job.

Yeah, but... shouldn't weight also decrease at some point? I mean, I shouldn't expect to be svelte 234 lbs at 6'2 even though I'm lifting my arse off, right?

If you have a lot of fat you'll still lose weight if you lift

I gather from this thread that you aren't doing much, if any, cardio. Is that correct?
HIIT is pretty popular for shedding fat for those interested in also building muscle mass.
Also, it's hard to say when we don't really know how much you're eating. In order to maintain/build muscle, you need to consume a certain amount of calories per day, but pretty much anything beyond that is going to add fat. You may be overestimating the amount of calories you need for your current muscle mass.

There are too many unknowns to answer this

16/8 leangains IF. Lift 3xs per week. Look it up.

I had really good success with Keto last summer. Lost 31 pounds in less than 2 months. Be sure to make some fat bombs for energy before you hit the gym.

No workout guru, but I've managed to lose 15 lbs (195 to 180) by eating right and lifting as heavy as I can without a spotter. Eat cleaner, eat less at night, throw in some good cardio days, and have a routine that doesn't have a lot of rest in between sets. A lot of misinformation floating around the interwebz about lifting. Pick through the good ones and roll. People often see weight spikes because they eat like mules to help feed their appetite (notice I didn't say muscles).

If all you care about is losing fat than you absolutely should be lifting weights. Focus on compound exercises and some full body stuff... As many have said adding muscle will increase your resting metabolic rate and you will burn more calories when just sitting around watching tv.
Keep in mind that if/when u get to a stage where you want to change goals and focus on getting stronger or make muscular gains you will have to go away from the amount/type of cardio you do when you are in a cutting mode. You will also have to adjust your diet as you can't maximize gains or strength on a caloric deficit.

Cut 500 calories a day that's 3500 a week which is a pound. You aren't going to put on a pound of muscle a week. Start drinking more water to fight the hunger. Problem solved

You hadnt put on muscle weight in 2 weeks. Its likely from inflamation in torn muscles holding water.
But to answer your question, yes lift weights. But dont worry about the scale now. Throw that bitch out. Numbers dont matter when lifting weights. Get you a tape, and get some measurements. waist, chest, arms.... measure those each month! Thats your measure, not numbers on a scale. Keep working and good luck;

In 2 weeks though you wont gain enough muscle to see on a scale. My weight will fluctuate by 5 pounds over a few days depending how I eat or what I did that day alot of it is water weight. It takes quite a while to actually put on 1 to 2 pounds of muscle.

Like some of the other posters said, if your clothes are fitting better and you look better in the mirror, don't worry about the scale. It's all about body fat percentage.

I went from 267 to 235 by walking 3 miles 5 x week, lifting (light weights) 3 x week and cutting out crap food.
It took 10 months

Unless you have a target weight to win a contest or something, your goal is fat loss, not weight loss. Start lifting weights and eat at a calorie deficit. Skip the cardio.
Diet > strength training > cardio
Diet > strength training > cardio

The addition of this to my current eating habits and lifting would probably go a long way.
