Actually muscle is not heavier than fat, it just takes up less room. 1 pound of bricks vs 1 pound of feathers, weighs the same.

But muscle will help burn calories, which is awesome.

Hm. I'm going to scout around for some ideas, Kabaker. :hug:s to you both.

Aaaaah, weighed in at 204.4 today! Five measly pounds left! I'm glad the impromptu visit to the Cheesecake Factory didn't do much damage (we were supposed to be going for sushi!). I tried eating as healthy as I could (got the herb-crusted salmon with broccoli instead of asparagus and it was really good. The portion sizes are MASSIVE, though. I ate half and the rest was packed away). I did get to feel good that day - a friend who hadn't seen me in a while kept gushing at how good I looked.

That must have felt fantastic, Rashomon! Oh, salmon sounds so gooooood right now. :D


Kabaker, I found what I was looking for:

Yeah, it's got a lot of Weight Watcher parts in her post (as it was part of the WW subthread), but if you scroll down Kelly S' post, she has more clips in there that I thought were pretty good to keep in mind.

Hopes this helps you guys, :hug:.

Ugh! I'm right there with you ladies who are straddling the 199/200 line! I have yet to hit a plateu so go figure I've been stuck at exactly 200lbs for the past 3 days!!

Lets do this ladies!! Then we can all move into the next thread together!

The 190's thread stinks... Hurry up and get there I miss you guys :)

201! love it.

and suddenly people notice. i received 8 of the 12 serious compliments at work in the last 3 days.

Thanks for the great tips! I am trying to keep my chin up. At least I KNOW I am not gaining weight.

200.4 again today. Blah.

You five are pounding on the gates of Onderland, congrats and keep on fighting! :D

:bravo:

today was the day. 199.6. double take in disbelief. forgot what 100s looked like. honestly it has been at least 7 years.

CONGRATS! :carrot:

I'm unofficially in Onderland!!!!!!!! I was 198.5 today!! YAYYYYYY Lets hope it sticks until my official weigh in Monday. So I will stick around here til the official word! LOL

Congrats Katiecron!! I too had to do a double take when I saw the scale!

^hehe! congrats to you too. i am sticking around through 197. being within 3 lbs is what i consider official.

ZAN "5 pounding on the gates of onederland...." one of the funniest things i've read on here. very clever.

:D

Well I hope everyone had a fun weekend, :carrot:
Back to work for me. :(

I think I may have busted through my couple month long 201-203 plateau! I was 199 at my weigh in yesterday, 198 today! I hope it keeps going down now. Whoohoo! Looks like a lot of us are busting through to the 100s! Keep it up!
