Reply from Krystle, Age 18 - 11/18/03 - IP#: 195.93.34.xxx It depends on how much kcal's and grams of fat you eat each day. Plus working out could have gavin you a little muscle. Talk over your diet with your doctor/family and they will fine tune any problem in your diet!! Keep trucking!!! Krystle
Reply from anne, Age 16 - 11/18/03 - IP#: 216.66.108.xxx you may be gaining a lot of muscle- but that's good because it'll burn more calories while you're not doing anything. another thing is that maybe you're still eatin too much- count your calories. it also might be retained water- in that case cut out as much salt and a bit of carbs as you can- this means no soda- even diet- because it has a lot of salt in it and don't add any to your food. take in more fiber so that you go to the bathroom more. and make sure that the workout that you're doing is high intensity aerobics. i hope you find the answer. good luck!
