Trophy Wife Diet Makeover: Muscle weighs 4 lbs??

Everything's Diva  *  Everything's Diva  *  Everything's Diva

Dearest Diva:  You have probably heard it before Muscle weighs more than fat - while fat takes up more room than muscle. Here is the News Flash!! What I recently learned and just had to share with you is that 1 pound of muscle while about a 1/3 of the size of 1 pound of fat -can hold up to 3 pounds of water.  Fat doesn't hold that much water so it's just enlarged fat cells weighting around for us to shrink (or enlarge) them.

WHOA!!  So while it kind of frustrates me it does explain to me why the scale doesn't move sometime.  So Diva this means instead of freaking out when that scale does not move, instead we need to grab a tape measure and track inches.  Another great idea is to grab a pair of tight pants and try them on ever so often to  see how they feel.  I did this recently with a pair of jeans when I had been really good diet wise, but the scale did not reflect it.  The pants showed the weight loss when the button was no longer digging into my muffin top.

**Motivation - Not excited by a small weight loss.  go grab a bag of sugar and reflect how that 4 lb bag would look added to your body.  Where would you add it??  And Where have you lost it??
