Guest guest Posted July 8, 2006 Report Posted July 8, 2006 Hi Pat, I am on my way out the door this morning early, but I wanted to tell you it is because muscle weighs more than fat so as you are losing fat you are actually gaining healthy muscle weight. You have actually lost weight in fat, but gained it in healthy muscles so they often even out in the beginning. I have even heard of people losing a whole size and gaining a pound or two, unusual, but it has happened. The muscles are getting longer and leaner and so you lose inches. It is very common for someone to lose a lot of inches before they start seeing the losses on the scale. Healthy muscle also helps speed up your metabolism and helps you burn more fat. Several years ago I trained a woman who lost 3 and three quarter inches off each thigh and several inches off her hips and you could really see it on her. It was remarkable when she would walk in to see the difference. It took her that many inches before she lost any pounds, but she did not care because she dropped from 23 and three quarter inch thighs to 20 inch thighs and she looked amazing. I saw her recently, it has been over 10 years since I trained her and she is still doing LifeLift and has maintained her losses and she looks fabulous. She is a totally devoted LifeLifter. We have been led a little astray when led to believe that it is weight that counts most. I think having good, well proportioned measurements are most important. I know people always think I weight a lot less than I do when I am in my best shape. My muscles are hard and firm and my measurements are where I like them to be so I never care what I weigh. It is the inch loss that means more to me than the pound loss. I usually gauge myself by how much clothes fit. If they start feeling a little snug I start adding more LifeLift breaths and drinking more water. It always works even after all these years.

LifeLift is the Original Aerobic Breathing Rashelle, a question about LL, inch loss and pound loss!! Hi Rashelle, I have a question for you about Life Lift breathing, inch loss from Life Lift breathing, and pound loss from Life Lift breathing. The question is this: Why is it so much easier to lose inches from Life Lift breathing than it is to lose pounds from Life Lift breathing? I have been losing inches like mad, at least I did initially. Those almost 10 inches by now, of course, are never going to come back to me because I am never going to stop doing my Life Lift breathing!!! BUT WHY IN THE WORLD IS IT TAKING ME SO LONG TO LOSE POUNDS????? That is what I want to know, Rashelle? Could you please answer this question for me and for all the rest of us???? Why can't I lose pounds as easily from Life Lift breathing as I can lose inches????? This is really so very annoying to me!!!! Thanks for answering my question, Rashelle!!! One other thing while I am on the subject of losing pounds and inches from Life Lift breathing. Before I learned about Aerobic breathing, the fact that one can actually lose weight from Life Lift aerobic breathing, and Life Lift in particular, I had never even considered the fact that one could lose inches rather than, or in addition to pounds. Why is it that society just considers weight loss in terms of pound loss and NOT inch loss, too? I am really curious about this. I, for one, had NEVER known about INCH loss before I started learning about aerobic breathing and started to do Life Lift breathing!!!! I had never associated WEIGHT LOSS with anything BESIDES POUND LOSS!!! Isn't that funny????? Love always, Pat Quote
Guest guest Posted July 8, 2006 Report Posted July 8, 2006 Hi Rashelle, Thanks so very much for this wonderful, comprehensive answer. I will look at it from time to time in order to stop myself from bring discouraged when I don't see much of a difference in my poundage on my bathroom scale. Guess what!!!! I am going to do Life Lift breathing for the REST OF MY LIFE, just as the woman you tell me about in your reply obviously decided to do. So, look out world!!! The permanently skinny Pat Lusher is on her way to stay!!!! Wow, I wonder how I will look when I am in my 80s!!!!! I am 55 now, so let's see what Life Lift does for me in the next 25 or 30 years!!!! I am going to make sure that I put your reply in my Life Lift folder right now, Rashelle, so that I won't have to remember to do so later and to risk forgetting to do so. I hope that you have yourself one beautiful Saturday, and thanks so much for having taken the time to have written me such a very thorough reply befoer you left your house for the day!!!! May God bless you always, my dear friend!!!!

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2006 Report Posted July 8, 2006 Pat, even with all the teachings from my mom, and others in my life on health, as well as from me working, selling and using health stuff for over 25 years, I STILL have the vain idea about pounds in my head as well! Back when I was much younger (lol) I used to model, and my agent was VERY strict on pounds, if we gained 2 pounds, it was yelling to get it off NOW! So, for over 15 years now, it is my morning ritual, to wake, pee, get on the scale. Every day - no matter what! lol Even now I do not LOOK at the scale as much for pounds, I still DO do it every day, and it is very hard to break that habit! lol But, back then - I weighed 98 lbs (and I was NOT that skinny!) but I had NO muscle at all, I was head cheerleader in high school, but other than that - I did NO exercise. Now, I have 4 kids to run after, plus all my nieces and nephews that are here all the time, many times I do not have time to exercise, but I still try to do my chi machine for 15 minutes a day, and I do a few life lift breaths while on it - as well as when I am at my computer and driving I do some LL breaths, and then I TRY to do my reflexology tape atleast 1-2 times a week, the actual TAPE, but MANY times throughout the day - I will push on a spot - and breath - for different areas that I know that my body needs to be worked on.
