I totally agree re: muscle taking up less volume than fat. But... also, yes, you've gained a lot of muscle I'm sure but have you considered that an old size 12 is probably like a new size 14...I find my old clothes much looser than new clothes even if they're the same size. I dont know, maybe my clothes stretch after a while....but you know how jeans get progressively less tight over years...that sort of thing. i dont know, just a thought!

It would be totally discouraging if I weighed myself today given I was at a five course banquet last night! I'll assume I'm the same as Monday!.. 142 pounds.

Don't be afraid or discouraged! We're all in this together. In the first forum, I knew that I would gain weight after having a day out at the ballpark the day before weigh in and I did gain 2 lbs. But you weigh in and move on. Missing the weigh in isn't going to make it any better and won't give you any perspective for the Monday weigh-in. Go for it!

Grrr...How annoying, I share this pc with my sister and I keep being automatically logged in an as her..and then I realise and switch to my account. Hi Liz...Love ya!

Okay I did it...I weighed yesterday and tried to contain the impending MI by assuring self that it cant possibly be real weight gain since Monday!

You have to lose fat generally...you wont be able to "spot reduce" your thighs. Work on having a healthy calorie deficit of about 500 calories and do cardio and strength training. Thats the only way. Work all your muscles...dont try spot...that way you'll build fat-burning muscle all over your body. There are leg exercise that will help build that muscle in your legs and thighs: squats, lunges are pretty good leg exercises. Just remember its a combination of exercise (cardio and strength) and diet that will reduce those thighs and overall body fat! Goodluck.

Oooo...I'm in. I have a very dressy up banquet dinner in 5 weeks so this is perfect. I wasn't in the first one...in fact I'm new here. Hoping to lose 4-6 pounds in the 4 weeks.

Fitness Lose Fat, Maintain Muscle - stop strength training and up cardio? May 12 2008

Thanks guys for the advice. My...I'd been lifting about 12 reps but I was actually thinking of going for high rep, lighter weight as advocated by some for toning but I think your way makes more sense...light weights cant do very much but waste time then. I certainly dont want to be skinny fat...sounds horrid.


Oh sorry, maybe I didnt put that very clearly...I dont intend to lose 10 pounds of muscle, but that is the maximum amount of muscle loss I would allow or expect given increased cardio and a calorie deficit to get to a bf of about 20%. If I just lost 13 pds of Fat, I wouldnt mind at all! I was just thinking that might be impossible to avoid muscle loss.What a lovely thought...losing 13 pounds of fat...hmmm

Thanks again,

Naomi
