Since I've been doing pushups and situps... I've been building muscle, getting stronger... and I wonder if that's going to cause my weightloss to slow down...I don't want it too... I want my weight to continue to plummit...

Muscle burns fat at a faster rate, and once you have it it burns fat all day long...when you're doing nothing at all. So don't fret about that. It may be a week or two that you'll look as if you haven't lost or appear to have gained b/c of muscle mass but IF this does happen it will even out. I have gained quite a bit of lean muscle and I love it! It makes maintaining my weight a lot easier. Dont' let the fear of slowing your weight loss be a deterrent, it really won't slow your loss, its just that muscle weighs more. It's far better for you and it will burn more fat off of your body and at a faster rate which will eventually show on the scale.

I ahve actually noticed that too. But lately exercise has been on the back burner. This weather is supposed to let up and next week I am GOING to the GYM!!
 
I"m glad i have some equipment (as ghetto as it may be :p ) in the house because if I didn't, the weather here would keep me from doing ANYTHING... I remember that when I had a working mountain bike... I went to go riding one morning and it was bitter cold out... I got about a half a block down the street... turned around, went home... got back in bed and slept.... I felt like such a cop out but... it was FRIGGID!!!!! Now I can work out in the comfort of my own home and be subjected to the same Justin Timberlake video and infomercials! :(
 
You don't HAVE to go to the gym to work out BGS! There's all sorts of stuff you can do at home. You can use detergent bottles, canned foods and/or water bottles to do weight training. Jump and jacks are great cardio...bunches of stuff. Don't let the weather stop you!

I can so relate there however, the last little while all I can do at home has been my priority, I *UGH* joined a Curves challenege so now I gotta get there 3 times a week or else I get kicked out, LOL...(I needed that motivation to go my three times
 
I just got out of Curves after doing it a year. I wanted to do more than what they had there, but I loved the support and it did help!!
 
Wow be gone, congrats on the move from Curves. I'm currently doing Curves and I know that eventually I'll have to move away from Curves and join a real gym...
 
Ok here in a minute or 20 ,LOL, I am going to put on a movie and do my exercise in front of it. I am going to kind of do a Curves thing , only at home and more intense so it burns more cals. So by telling you guys I have totally committed myself. I wouldn't want to lie after all!! So I am going to get this done today!!:eek:
