Exercise Dilemma!!!

[jennibel]

When I was doing exercise I was more toned than ever, I wasnt eating much protein as was on LE yet had big calf muscles and my stomach was more toned than usual. I stopped losing weight and it also affected my OV and I dont understand why. I was doing it for 10 weeks

Hi - just thought I'd jump on here and tell you my exercise....I do 1hr15mn on Just Dance 4 (the extra 15 min on the timer is for the breaks between songs) on the Wii in the morning before the school run (I get up at 5.45)....and when the kids are at school I use my cross trainer, whilst watching Jeremy Kyle in the afternoon for another hour...Not sure if this helps, just pointing out how I fit in in with 5 kids....lol

I have one more q if Atomic or someone can answer me.

Is it the keeping heartrate up that's imp or is it walking/running/etc..at least an hour no matter what the pace more that's imp?

If you exercise, you'll llook more toned. That's fine. The exercise has gotten great results and jennibel I know it was more complicated a situation for you to stop exercising and you of course did the right thing for your circumstances, but for the average person I really don't want anyone to say, oh gee I'm getting some muscle, I'll quit exercise. For right now, it certainly appears that exercise is the way to go for pink. Whereas the whole "muscle mass" idea was just a theory, totally unproven and I would not want anyone turning away from something that has yielded above 90% success rates because they think they're getting more muscle.

Exercise + LE Diet swaying pink - so far seems to be FACT
Muscle mass = boys - theory

Fact > theory

Thank heavens for that as I did a test today which showed I have almost 37% muscle!! Off the charts!! Although I did do weights today so it may have been artificially high. And I'm still losing weight (to be fair I haven't started swaying yet)
