    Could there be a little bun in the oven? That would explain an unexplainable weight gain.:blushing: :love: :flowerforyou:

    LOL no way. Thank goodness. No more buns in this oven, ever!

    Take no notice Sparkles, some people have food on the brain, they even mention "bun" in this context!!!

    Do you have pictures of yourself at 107 compared to now? I ask, because very very few people notice a 10 lb difference. You might mentally or think you do as it's in your head you weigh less, but others won't notice that difference. Now I ran the numbers for being at 19% body fat and 24% body fat and the difference is 77 calories. It's minimal and it takes time anyways to workout the diet kinks.

    The biggest thing is looking to build lean muscle mass. That will make your body tighter, stronger and your overall life better. And if you concentrate on losing a little body fat and gaining muscle mass, this is where people will notice the difference. What it will do is require a little deficit and strength training.

    But quickly running the numbers, if you workout 5-6 days a week with a mix of carido/ ST, you should be eating around 1800 calories if I haven't said that before.

    One thing that can happen when you start a new workout program is you can gain a decent amount of weight up front (isn't fat). I have gained up to 10 pounds and kept in on for up to 6 weeks and then lost the weight. Your muscles can hold water for repair for the exercises you are doing until you adjust. Just a thought here.

    - banana bread for dinner? come on!!

    LOL that is just cause that is when I baked it. Had to give it a taste to make sure it wouldn't poison the kids :)

    Certainly understand the tasting thing...but one can not effectively run on banana bread alone.

    I do not have pics from when I was 107. I wasn't working out so I never even thought to take pictures. The way I can tell is my thighs touch now where they didn't use to (lost that nice thigh gap I loved so much), My jeans are tighter, my underwear is tighter (seriously?!), my face is rounder, my stomach isn't flat anymore, etc. I am very small so 10 pounds is a lot on me and is noticeable. Like I said I had a friend comment on me getting fatter, so it shows.

    Well even if we can manage to cut 2% body fat and lost 10 lbs, that means you would lose another 5 lbs of muscle. You already only have about 94 lbs of lean muscle mass and the only way to get to 107 would be losing muscle. Muscle is what gives you that hot in a bathing suit look. This is why, I say, lets keep you about the same weight and just cut 2-3% body fat and we can probably get you in the same clothes you were at 107 lbs or make you look better.

    Well body recomposition will do that. Case in point, look at the two threads I posted.

    Stacy on nerd fitness is eat 3000-4000 calories and did ST for two hours a day. Its how you build muscle. But you can cut body fat eith extreme calories.
