    Muscle weighs more than fat. So you can loose inches and gain pounds. It can be a good thing. I know someone who gained 5 lbs and lost a whole dress size. She is toned and fabulous.

    Hi, Welcome. And Good Luck. I have a lil more weight to lose, but my goal is similar. I want to go from 142 > 125, but i'll probably be happy at 130.

    Hey Cathy, we are in the same boat! lol ahhh school! :) I really want to get down to 120 also and weigh 130.
    Not sure if you are familiar but I've completed p90x & on my last week of insanity and have seen extreme changes!
    I had a baby 15 months ago and dropped 22lbs in roughly 8 months and a crazy amnt of inches.
    I'd love to partner with you in getting this stubborn 10-15 lbs off ;) lol

    You may consider putting in your measurements because the scales may show a weight gain but you may be the same or lost body fat and that is good as losing pounds.

    Hello All ~ My name is Mari. I heard of this website through my neighbor. In just a short time with a Low Cal. diet she's lost 11 lbs. plus. I joined Curves 8 yrs. ago I go 5 days a week (if possible) Curves led me to walking an hour a day Mon-Fri. for the most part. I really enjoy that time to myself. I find this website very inspiring. I would like to loose abut 8 lbs. Any special tips anyone has for low calorie, satisfying meals & snacks I would greatly appreciate. :smile: Someone spoke of Nutrella. Where can you buy that. I had never heard of it. I'm thinking, mabe it's in the peanut butter section ?
