Ht. 5'5, Wt. Too much - Its official. It WAS muscle weight that I gained. I measured myself again and I lost more inches. I dont have exact measurements from the moment I started, but from May 18 (about 5 weeks into dieting) to now I have lost a total of 19 inches and 21 pounds. Thighs: -5 inches. Calves: -1 inch. Bust: -3 inches. Waist: -7 inches. Hips: -3 inches. I gained weight from a few weeks ago (i was at 180, went to 189, now am 184) and I tihnk it was muscle because it was after a few weeks of starting to work out more. I started doing these new 10 minute workouts I found on fitness TV and they really make you feel the burn. I also am starting to jump on my neighbor's trampoline, eat little meals throughout the day, and go for more walks. I eat some sort of high in fat foods during the week, but i dont beat myself up over it. I just make sure i work out and that i dont eat too much of it. Its everything in moderation. Good luck to you all!
