muscle is heavier than fat... so that might be it... are your clothes getting tighter?
Yep!!! Don't get discouraged!!!! U just have to keep working out. At one point I was the same but I still continued. I started in January and am down 26 lbs. You just have to keep going. I work out 6 days a week and eat 6 times a day...small portions...breakfast, snack, lunch, snack and dinner, snack. SO every 2 hours...it speeds up ur metabolism. For snacks I don't have nothing more than 100 cals. It really has been working for me. Then when you lose a decent amount of weight...reward yourself!!! I got a new wedding gown because I wanted to show off my figure. Good Luck and FM me if you have more questions!!

Wow Sheena, that is phenomenal!!! I have 7lbs to loose but i have been lazy!!

You could do it. YOu still have time girl. I wish I were in NY. I would drag you to workout with me. Now you see why I had to buy a new dress. I had to show it off and I have more to go (only 10-15) to get my pre baby weight back.

Muscle is DENSER than fat it doesn't weigh more. You could be gaining muscle so yes your weight would increase but not bc it is heavier than fat. does that make sense?

imagine 1 pound of fat it is larger and looser
now, imagine 1 pound of muscle it is lean smaller and denser yet is still one 1 pound!

don't go by the scale measure yourself that is the sure fire way to know if you are gaining muscle and loosing the fat surrounding it.

Perfect explanation!!!!!!
