    When I use to be a runner, I would hit weight loss walls all the time. I had to change my routine to make a difference. But there were times that muscle just came on and my weight would increase. Hope that helped. I also use to stretch. I am disabled now, but I was a rock climber, runner, spelunker, and repeller. I was so active that I'd forget to eat. CJ

    well that is a good sign! Toning is a result of the skin tigtening and bodyfat being lost, but if the scale is not moving then you are probably retaining muscle mass, while dropping the bodyfat which is awesome! hows your energy levels during the day and when you train? you are def on the right track and your body is killer already!

    oh ok thats good news.. yes I think I need to focus less on the scales as its easy to get drawn into just wanting the number to go down and not thinking of anything else!! energy during the day is usually ok .. sometimes maybe a little llw as try to limit my calorie intake.. ive got a long way to go but thanks!! x
