When the scale doesn't move and you've been working your tooshie off in the gym or some type of exercise - and you're about to throw the scale out the window -take a look at this. Or maybe the scale goes up.
This is 5 lbs of fat vs. 5 lbs of muscle --- look at the size difference ! :-)
Okay - I can't get the link to work....
I've been reading a lot lately about working out while losing weight. It is SO important to build muscle, lean muscle mass. The more muscle you have the more your body burns while doing everything. Plus it helps you keep the weight off when you get to your goal weight.
I need to just keep reminding myself, it's not so much the # on the scale, but the way my clothes fit etc. Look at Marzebe (???sp) - Perfect example.
Now I'm kicking myself for skipping the gym today... Oh well, we all need a day off right and I'll make extra sure to walk my butt off tonight when I work at the kennel.
