    Oh, and by the way- you've had mood swings since you dropped your weight that makes PMS look like a day in the park.

    Just thought you'd like to know. :bird1:

    remember, it's better to look good than to feel good!

    I'm scared to lose weight. The first place I lose is my ass and that's where I wanna keep it!

    You are losing muscle mass and replacing it with fat. Muscle is much much more dense than fat so you might not even notice....for now. You might not even notice the increase of fat because muscle actually has more water in it than fat. It's really the combination of a lower amount of water in your body offset by a little increase in fat that is causing what you described. Weight is a terrible measure of fat because of the water factor, get yourself some fat callipers

    When you lose muscle mass, your metabolism actually slows. Every pound of muscle takes 50 calories per day just to maintain normal body temp. When it goes away and you keep your calories level the same or increase it, you gain fat. someone like ronnie coleman (champion body builder) will burn more energy sitting in a chair than someone like drew carey walking

    :saywhat: Good God Fred...I'd kill to be at 125, let alone 115. You are sweet to guess lower than you really believe though. You men can never win at this weight issue when it comes to women, but you've given it a pretty good shot! :)

    You and Savio are in your 20's, right? I had no weight issues then...you'll see it becomes harder and harder to keep looking good as you get older. :(
