Despite what adds say, you can't actually target one area of the body for weight loss so any type of exercise is good.

To all the people exercising, when you exercise, you gain muscle. Since muscle weighs more than fat, you will gain some weight. Dont worry about it though, you will look better. :)

u probably gained some muscle from lifting weight and since muscle weighs more than fat, u gained weight. But don't worry, it's good to have more muslce cuz muscle burns more calories than fat!

ive seen you on the weigh-in page and girl you weigh yourself toooo much! I admit I've been guilty of doing that. But...listen your weight DOES fluctuate, and can only be accurate when weighed in once a week at the same time. :P If you ever need advice or help you can email me icebluegrrl@yahoo.com ~Bye~

You probably have an eating disorder, sorry to break it to you, but 7 hours of exercising is...unnatural. Thinking that eating under 900 calories a day is a great thing is also bad, you CAN lose 30 pounds without doing this. I also just want to mention that its a proven fact that people who try to lose weight extremely fast have a very low chance of succeeding and a lot will end up gaining more weight back. So just stay calm, see a doctor, you can lose weight the healthy way. :D

Hi Jayna,on the blubberbusters home page there is a weight calculator. Click on it and type in your info and it should tell you if you are overweifht or not. Hope that helps.

yes, because right before your period you gain water weight, which to the scale might seem like "pounds", but you'll lose it after your period is over.

Obviuosly there is a difference between Fat and weight, thats why its better to weight your self month after month. I could proabably gain 6 pounds within the next 4 hours drinking a gallon of water and gain no fat at all.
