    Which goes to show that muscle is distributed differently but may even weigh more than fat or as I describe it "flab" lol.. I always see it like a cotton ball and a marble "steelie" the same size..One is almost weightless while the other is dense and so weighs much much more. I kind of compare that to our flab before we get toned up..:)

    Wow, that's amazing! My friends keep telling to stop weighing, but I'm obsessed. You're a good reason to STOP!

    Hello everyone!

    Upon urging from a few of my MFPs here, I'm posting the below picture. The photo on the left is from Jan 1st when I weighed 202lbs - the photo on the right is from this morning when I weighed 203lbs. Since January, I've done P90X and I'm finishing up month 1 of Insanity.

    Just goes to show your body can change and the scale won't show it ONE BIT. If I didn't take photos and measurements, I would surely be insane by now.

    thank you so much for posting this. I needed to see this. It is also motivating me to toughen out with my insanity. I have not been able to get thru day 2

    IGNORE THE TORTURE DEVICE aka the scale!!
