Forget the scale - measure inches. If you are at a calorie deficit and doing cardio you could lose muscle as well as fat. You could also gain muscle if a newbie to exercising. Could also be water. So again measure inches and forget the scale.0

Did you even read my op? The reason I put probably is because there are certain scenarios where one can add muscle in a deficit. However, if you are eating 1200 calories a day and doing minimal training then it is not muscle....
He's agreeing with you, but wanting people to not be obnoxious when they point out that it is probably not muscle.
What specifically was obnoxious about my post?
I don't believe @CalorieCountChocula was referring to your OP, but to other threads in which people have been obnoxious while saying that it's probably not muscle.
which has absolutely nothing to do with this thread.0 -

Of course it does. If I understand @CalorieCountChocula correctly, he's saying people who point this out don't need to do it in such an obnoxious way as he has seen in the past.0 -

again, it was already pointed out that there is nothing obnoxious in this thread, so it does not pertain to this thread.
I re-bumped this to help new members, not to argue about perceived slights…

That's all well and fine, but there are only so many ways to say it. Frankly, I've not seen evidence for there being "obnoxiousness" in the past, and how the concept of "obnoxiousness even got introduced into the conversation is beyond me.
Can we please not have yet another thread derailed with dem feelz? This is good, factual information. A lot of people are spouting the erroneous "it's probably muscle" to queries about people not losing weight.
Correcting that misinformation is important.0 -

I like what @PeachyCarol said. It's only obnoxious in the way you read it to yourself, this would be your problem in how you internalize information. Maybe you can express "It's not muscle," in a better way, not sure how.
Thank you @ndj1979 for posting this.0 -

Sounds like more of an internal dialogue. More the way that someone who is overweight might take offence to something worded wrong. Did that sales person just imply this dress is too tight? Is she calling me obese?kshama2001 wrote: »kshama2001 wrote: »

Well, that escalated... I didn't see him use the word obnoxious.0 -
This is a great thread ( besides the people who are reading too much into "it's not muscle" being obnoxious. How could that even be taken as obnoxious? The world can't be sugar coated all the time )0
