Question: Can I lose weight by weight lifting alone!?
I have bad knees so I have a really hard time running (cardio)!. Right now I'm 173lbs, 5'9 and roughly at 19% body fat!. Looking at me you'd never think I'm fat but I hide it well!. I have a nice fat tire that I want to get rid off!.

I've hit the gym pretty hard lately!. For the past 4 months or so I've been really good but I'm not seeing the results I want!.
