[quote=Anonymous]Been skinny in cycles due to diet.  It wasn't ever sustainable.

What's working for me is strength classes and upping my protein.  Not only did the weight drop off but it raised my base metabolism.  Apparently, it takes a lot more energy for our bodies to process protein calories.  You''ll have to eat a lot, not to lose muscle. Net result can be you'll weigh a little more than prior skinny days but leaner.  Muscle and fat weigh the same, but muscle is more compact.  A regular scale has become irrelevant.  Track your progress with a gym's Inbody machine or an at home Hume scale.  They provide data on fat vs muscle mass.  And the minimum calories just to support your metabolic rate (not active calories but the ones your body needs to support your vital functions).

Cardio is very good for your heart.  However, as a previous poster said, you would have to be a marathoner for fat loss.  By itself it isn't effective for the average exerciser.  IMO, an hour lifting hand weights 2-3 hours a week will help the most.  Keep up the cardio though.  The two go hand in hand.

Good luck.
