when did you start to see a muscle gain? and did it start to seem like you where not lossing weight when you got on the scale?

i am personally hitting a point where i am not seeing weight loss on the scale and was wondering at what point most people started to see more muscle when they where on the scale. i have been working out for about a mounth or more.

any advice would be helpfull

thank you

If you are weight training regularly then it may be a good time to use the mirror and a body fat % as a gauge of your progress instead of the scale.  I know my scale hasnt moved for about 6 weeks but I can see a difference in the mirror and I've lost about 1.5% of body fat in that time period so I know I'm adding muscle at the same rate as I'm losing fat.
Use a mesuring tape ! .. i've been a little discourage about my scale result for the last 3 weeks.. almost no loss . But i had some mesurements taken about month ago .. compared with acutal mesurements .. WOW ! i'm happy again !   Scale is a nice tool to mesure your weight.. but weight is not the only mesure that should be taken ! I'm a living proof ! ;)  as per your question about when .. it really depends on the type of exercises, fequency ... hard to tell as i have very little info about your formula...
