[HPFGU-OTChatter] losing weight

[Katze]

Hi!

Congratulations on the weight loss! What a wonderful thing! Are you 
going shopping or getting something nice as a reward for all of your 
hard work?

I am trying to lose some weight. I want to lose about 25 lbs, but I 
believe I'm already hitting a plateau. I've started exercising though - 
1hr biking M-F, 30 minutes on the weekends, so I'm wondering if building 
muscle is offsetting the number on the scale. I've decided to take my 
measuremtns as well. If the muscle gain is offsetting the scale, then I 
have another way to measure.

I've done more exercise in the past 3 weeks than I have in 3 months, so 
I'm wondering if my muscle are holding on to extra water. Anyone know 
how this works?

Take care!
