Hi! I'm on 2nd month of p90x and the scale isn't budging much, I know muscle weighs more, but I really want to reach my scale goal at 130..I'd love to see some pics of y'all that have actually gained some weight back due to muscle for a little inspiration.
Thanks!

    Are you eating to many or too few calories? I have been stuck on 150 lbs for years and I recently got the fit bit that basically integrates into my fitness pal and tailors the typical calories that girls your age and weight would burn or need to eat daily and tracks it. It has really helped me out past that hump. I have a friend who is my height and body shape and she dropped down to 135 and she is body building for the bikini range body building competition in our area. How close are you to hitting your goal and what height are you?

    I'm almost 5'5 and been fluctuating from 137-140 , my calories vary but during the week I try and stay under 1350 with workouts, sat I usually go over. I have a polar Hrm for workouts. Yeah I'm over the plateau, I recently got down to 133, but gained it back.

    Hmm. . . Try measurements versus weighing or use a body fat scale or the measurements I am not certain what it is but you could probably google it.
