Do not worry about it over that small period of time. Also, hate to say it but 4 lbs of muscle in 4 days...not possible. Stay the course... you are doing fine Peanut butter pie... MMMMMMMMMM

The second thing to note is others are saying you look healthier...that too is HUGE!! Keep on course and you will see change. It is so easy to focus on the stupid scale wieght, even when you have all the other positive signs that say you are succeeding. Your doing great, just keep it up!!!

If a gallon of water weighs between 8 and 8.5 pounds and you're a bit dehydrated, your weight will be lower than usual. Drinking more water throughout the day will ultimately increase your weight slightly, but is VERY necessary when trying to burn fat. I would suggest weighing in only once per week. Choose a day of the week and a time to weigh yourself (Saturday morning, Wednesday before bed, etc), but BE CONSISTANT! Avoid the scale until that particular day and time. You should be able to see a steady pattern of positive results. -------------- --JBennett "I've up-ed my intensity.... now up yours!" "Pain is only weakness leaving the body."
