[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s not the 3 pounds. It’s that when “exercise is not a priority” your body changes. You likely lost a lot of muscle which was replaced with fat. I went through a phase with whacked out hormones and trying different BC pills and they made me gain weight, and at the time, I was also cutting back on exercise. It’s now a year and a half later and I weigh exactly the same, but I’ve been exercising and working out very hard and very diligently. My legs are so much more shapely. I look a lot better in photos and in the mirror despite being the same weight. I suspect the number is fooling you in a reverse type of way right now. [/quote]

Very good points made by PP, I agree and have a similar experience. 2-3 pounds diff so “not much” (as the body image police is trying to shame you into admitting), but in reality it was probably 2-3 pounds less muscle and 4-6 pounds more fat. For me the wake up call was a profile picture ... I realized I really Changed and the kids/end of thirties had taken a toll. Use that panic to motivate yourself ? ! A year after the bad pic I lost the flabbiness and gained back the muscles. It feels wonderful. It can easily be done, you just need to want it, have a plan and stick to it[/quote]
