This just hit me could it have something to do with working out ?

Lets take Jane and Jill both 5"6 240 the day of surgery. They both eat 800 calories a day get there 80 g of protein and under 60 cards.

Let's say Jane works out 5 days a week and lost 33 lb in her 7 weeks since surgery. Now for Jill she is not really any more active than she was before surgery and has lost 44 lbs in her 7 weeks since surgery It is Easter to lose lean muscle mass and small amounts of fat then it is to lose all fat and no muscle. The body tends to burn the muscle quicker than it does the fat because it's easier to get at and burn.

So by one year both Jane and Jill are 145 but Jane kept most of her lean muscle and built onto that making her look more fit then Jill. From what I have read this seems to be right. This is only my theory and I would love to hear input and feedback from anyone on this:).

Your right. :-)

You can lose the weight without working out, but why? We did this to be healthier. Why wouldn't you want to get your heart healthy and your body lean and In shape? I have lost 115 pounds you can see my muscles, my shoulders and the start of a six pack. And I can run a 13 minute mile. Exercise has proven benefits besides losing weight. Also; skinny looks good with clothes on. Sexy looks good naked.
