    Apparently for every ten pounds you lose, you gain 20 seconds (approximately) per mile! This means that I'll hopefully be able to run an 8 minute mile by the time I'm where I want to be, yahhooooooooooo!

    By VOLUME, muscle weighs about 20% more than fat. And you can't replace fat with muscle in a few weeks. It takes lots of strengthening workouts and protein to build muscle. Muscle doesn't automatically replace fat when you are dieting. You can firm up muscle so your body appears leaner and your measurements smaller, but *building* muscle is a whole nether story.

    Edit: Oops, this is in response to eriemer's post:
    ""It's too bad you didn't have the muscle models next to the fat ones. One of my WW leaders brought those out at a mtg, The 5lbs fat vs the 5lbs of muscle. The muscle 1/4 the size taking up far less area, showing if your wt doesn't change you may still be losing fat and gaining muscle. It's not always about the scale. ""

    Exactly!!! The fact that I could even get up and walk around while carrying around several of those on the bottom shelf is staggering. :frown:
