Scotty has a good point, and I might add "What kind of friends rub their success in your face"? It sounds like your friends are not the truest of friends... Aside from that, you should make a change for yourself if you are not happy. You can be rich and successful in your career also. It seems you may have lost your way!

Damn, MireyGal, nice abs!

yes, Boat is hot

No, you didn't lose 9 lbs of muscle that quickly. You did lose some, possibly 2-4 lbs. The rest is most likely water weight and it will come back quickly once you find your maintenance calorie allowance. Just eat normally and lift some heavy weights.

I am sorry to hear about your dad and the pain it must have caused you. I am glad to hear you are taking control again. I know first hand how hard it can be regain that power over yourself. Congratulations on the success you've had this far, and good luck as you continue.

I'm new here too, but have lost 25 lbs so far! Add me as a friend, and I'll try to help you as much as I can. I have learned a few things since I first started dieting. For instance, I have learned that if I eat 1200 calories 5 days per week, and then eat what I want on the weekends, I will weigh exactly 3 lbs heavier on…

shallow breathing is the culprit. Take deep breaths as you run, filling the lungs completely. But if you do get them, Mrsbigmack has your cure :)
