Guest guest Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 I have had similar problems with the plateau's. I do great for so long, lose like 15 pounds, and then nothing. BUT, what I do is take measurments, and I find that my body is catching up to the weight loss, because I loose inches during this time. Not always, but it does boost my efforts when there is another measure of my progress. Also, fat weighs less than muscle. For what its worth, that was my two cents... or two inches? 199/166/150...

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 What you were trying to say, was that muscle weighs less than fat, but either way, that's still incorrect. A pound of fat weighs the same as a pound of muscle (as does a pound of anything weigh the same as a pound of something else). What IS true, is that muscle takes up LESS space than fat. Muslce is denser than fat, so it needs less room and that's how the inches come off. You can weigh the same, but be smaller, because inches are coming off. That's why you can weigh more than your friend and be the same size or even be smaller than they are. At 165, I can wear 6/8s. When the scale was going up, I was a tight 14 at that weight. When I was 125, I was a 9/10 and that was being a gymnast (not olympic training, just high school level) and dancer. So even though I'm 40 pounds " heavier " , I wear smaller sizes. tmsmeohmy43 wrote: Also, fat weighs less than muscle.
