Like today someone posted about losing 7.5 in 2 weeks and it not being a big deal. If they gained that much in 2 weeks it would have been! I'm pretty sure they worked hard for that loss. At least be grateful for it. That's why I can't take Connect... My losses were usually in the 1 to 2 lb range and often just point 2 or 4. But they were steady. I would have loved a 7.5 loss in 2 weeks! But my that's not typical for my body size (and age) I guess.

Someone on there today said muscle weighs (actually they typed it as weight) more than fat and then said so there. I typed pack, a pound is a pound. I did not follow the person, so who knows what comments will be posted. I do not particularly care as long as one person realizes the truth.
I feel bad for those who do not think that 4 pounds is a good loss.
The sad stories are hard to read.
This week I stayed the same after being back on track for 2 weeks, but I am okay with that since I have not exercised much or at all in the last week. Staying the same is better than gaining.

Also those posts where someone starts working out and gains weight the following week and everyone assumes its muscle. Muscle doesn't grow that fast or else we wouldn't need steroids. Muscle swelling or extra glycogen storage maybe, but actual muscle hypertrophy takes time. *hung out with bodybuilders 💪💪*

Tearing muscle tissue results in an inflammatory response that ends up with fluid retention. Hence the weight gain. You exercise to improve health, not necessarily to lose weight. The gain of muscle over fat results in weight loss, over time, as muscle tissue burns calories more efficiently than fat. The most important net gain is feeling better, improving health, stamina, strength. "Beyond the Scale," lol. :::assuming crunched eyebrows and practiced concerned look of WW weigh-in person when you show a gain:::
