    Wow thanks for that! I'm currently on week 3 of P90X and was starting to get annoyed that I lost 1lb and then gained 3 more! I have been feeling sore the last two days. I hope once my muscles heal up that "weight" will come off.

    Yes, muscle tissue can also perform Glycogenesis (changing glycogen to glucose). But I would say the liver is much more important. Adding muscle is not going to make up for a fatty liver or making your liver work on detoxing you from cocktails instead of fat metabolism.

    this explains a LOT for me!! I've been exercising every single day since I started in January, but each month I start a new exercise routine and I was getting very discouraged at the scale because I've noticed I will stay the same or gain or go down only 0.2-0.4 of a pound for like 2 or 3 weeks and then boom I will have one really great weight loss in a week. Now I get it, my body was probably getting used to the new exercise, then I have the huge drop and then I'm changing my exercise routine so I have that same problem all over again. Either way, I'm doing well and need to continue but was getting discouraged by what the scale was doing, but this helps me out alot!! thanks for posting.

    Thank you for this! I started the 30 Day Shred a little over a week ago and the scale has gone up about 3 pounds and I've been trying to figure out where I'm going wrong. Hopefully I see that number go down again soon!

    I feel so much better now after reading this. I have been running for a week and notice a slight increase in weight. Now I feel better about it and will continue to run.
