could be water weight. Muscle doesn't grow that fast, at least not in significant amounts. Also muscle is lean even if it's bulky compared to fat. Fat takes up more space. Check your sodium intake that most likley is the culprit.

Love to join

Lol I don't have a small but I have what's known as a bubble butt. It's just not as big as before! I'm at the weight now when we first met and we've been together for 13 years. Most of our marriage aside from the past 3 years I've been at my current weight.... So it's kinda strange comment. I ignored it the first four…

Yeah I think it has a lot to do with my wife choosing not to be active. It's been over two months since I've exercised almost daily. I think maybe she thought it would be a passing trend. Now that she realizes it's not I think she's envious. I agree regardless of negative feedback the positives of a healthy lifestyle far…

Thanks dm. Yeah it's a dialectical dilemma.... But over time I think she'll get used to it. So irritating, it drives me more to my goals oddly enough. I don't like to be told what to do and am very competitive so it drives me. Weird huh.

that's a big cat!

agreed! And the scottish accent is appropriate!

I dropped to pant sizes!

I watched that video very interesting! I'll have to really look at a food scale!

I measure everything in terms of directions on packaging e.g. Rice, cheese, oil, beans, etc. the only thing I could possibly see a scale useful for is meat because you really are dealing with oz. being the unit of measurement. I actually don't eat meat more than once per day mostly because it's hard to afford. I only eat…

I use the food labels to identify calories. I was in weight watchers for two years so am very familiar with proper portion sizes, but still do alot of measuring cup usage. Yes, 2 inches off my wasteline and my legs are like broomsticks now! Not in a bad way. Yes I'm fitting into clothes I coudn't just 2 months ago! So I am…

I find that if I go below 1200 I usually feel weak and tired. But some days it doesn't bother me at all. Most days this is the case though. I also can't stick to 1200 if I exercise that day, it's tough to do.

I'm on the same page brother!! Feel free to add me as a friend. I just started counting again about a week ago. I am literally faced with only two choices 1) count calories and lose weight or maintain weight 2) not count calories and continue to gain weight Everytime I stop paying attention I gain 2 to 3 pounds every week…

Hey I just started my wieght loss journey as well. I totally get what you are saying! My wife doesn't complain she just eats like crap usually on the weekends, but it can be a problem during the week as well. She can really eat mostly whatever she wants and stay thin. That's a whole other problem..... What I've been doing…

This is cool, I'm in!
