Can you be more specific? Did you mean "how do i know whats body fat and whats muscle" cause when you work out and gain muscles you might weigh more because muscles weigh a lot so don't be discouraged if you step on the scale a your 2 pounds heavier. I would watch it if you haven't been working out. The best thing to do for weight loss is exersizing and weight-training. Lifting weights builds muscles and muscles help burn fat through out the day while your taking a nap or talking on the phone! So a combonation of running/swimming/sports 3-5 days a week, watching your diet (meaning no sugars or fastfood) and things like crunches/leg lifts/squats and push-ups will all play a huge part in losing body fat. (also drinking 3-5 glasses of water a day will help. Its also zero calorie's)
