i posted a topic "turning flab firm" and one of mfp's members responded saying "flab doesn't exist(sort of). Its either muscle, fat or a layered combination. you can lose fat and firm up and build muscles." and how right he was. i have been frantically working to regain muscle loss by lifting weights and i must admit i've seen some great results, but u know how greed sets in and u want more faster. that's why i posted the blog...well...since posting my flab topic i've lost an additional 4 lbs that i wasn't actually trying to lose...imagine that! amazingly so, at least 50% of my "flab" has disappeared! woe baby! it is truly astonishing! i can't believe it, i had more fat than i realized. oh what a wonderful feeling...life is good!! :happy:

    That's great! Yes, strength training burns more calories than cardio in the long run because the body works to repair muscle even after the workout is over.
