Re: Question about weight gain

Thanks for your reply, this forum seems pretty dead. My weight is less now, so it must have been water weight or something. My brother said he thinks people retain a little weight at first when they start to exercise because the body isn't used to the extra calorie burning yet. I have no idea what my measurements are, and I'm not sure I want to know, lol. So far my pants are fitting the same, so it's probably too early to see a difference.

I don't really care much about the numbers, but I do know that once when I exercised for a year and built up my muscles (but still had a little bit of fat that I wanted to lose), I was about 50 pounds lighter than I am now. And right now I don't have the muscles so I know I'm in bad shape. Can't wait until I start to see progress.

I know what you mean about skipping workouts, once my body is used to regular exercise, I can feel the difference if I don't keep it up.
