How has your BMI and muscle tone shifted during your weight loss? Was gaining muscle a big focus for you?

My BMI started at 31.5 (technically obese) and is now 23.6, which falls in the normal range-yay! My primary focus was getting rid of fat. I started at 42 percent body fat and am now around 26-27 percent body fat. I think gaining muscle/toning was a big part of my trainer’s plan for me, but I was mostly interested in losing fat. The gaining muscle was a pleasant side effect of that!
