Ok, I know this is probably batshit but I'm currently 19 & 1/2 stone, I've lost about 2 stone since the start of june. Aiming to eat 2-2200 calories day. Gym 3 times a week for weight machines and classes like metafit and les mills 3-5 times a week. I can feel muscles building on the back of my legs and my arms. Reassure me, I'm not going to suddenly be 19 stone of muscle so built like a brick shit house but still not the weight I need to be for fertility treatment?

OP, if you've lost two stone since early June, you are doing something right! and your regime sounds like a good mix for general health/fitness. I have lost weight while doing weight training but also gone down dress sizes without losing much. That's all very general/anecdotal though. I think in your circumstances it might be worth getting some expert advice about how to get to where you need to be safely and healthily, especially as you have made such a good start.

You shouldn't!

But I'd be focusing more on your diet. As the saying goes 'you can't outrun your fork'. What are you eating? That still sounds like a lot of calories to me.

(but well done on your loss so far - that's really important!)

Fruit, yogurt and oats for breakfast. Chicken salad at lunch, protein bar before gym and jacket potato/chilli/curry type dinners. My calories are worked out with a 20% deficit on tdee and(depending on its accuracy) according to my vesta im running a min 1200 deficit daily

great weight loss so far, id stick to what you're doing and reassess calories once the loss gets under 2lbs a week. losing slowly is much better in the long run and if you are getting used to a new way of eating and exercising, just doing this maintainable and stead way is a great start.
u will absolutely not be huge and muscley. u need a calorie surplus to build muscle and even then it's major hard work and a LOT of weight lifting to get anywhere near big gains!
