:eek: I used to be a figure skater and a cross country track runner, could my body remember that? I have been walking 60 minutes twice a day and not lost any weight. My "apron" has gone down and my legs are more muscular, my pants are starting to fall off, but the scale is not moving. Anyone else with this problem. I don't think the body can remember that far back can it?:help:

Yes, there will be times that the scale won't move, but you will lose inches. Heck, I'll take either one! Just remember even if the scale isn't moving, you are building muscle!

Just remember that muscle weighs more than fat. Thats one of my issues I have no muscles lol.....

The scale doesn't show it sometimes but I've lost a pant size plus a little more. Bra size is FINALLY going down if just a tad.

I need to excercise though.

u always loss inches first . are you using the same scale for everytime and sometime the clothes you wear make a diffenence

Yes, muscle has memory. Keep doing what you are doing and you'll be there soon.

thanks everyone. I am so worried that my lack of weight loss will adversely affect my surgery. I was so athletic as a youngster, as I said before, figure skating, cross country track, tennis team ROTC color guard etc... I hope that is all it is. I weigh myself on the same scale at work and I work in a hospital so I assume it is correct. I also resist weighing every day since I pass the scale a hundred times a day.

I was told by my trainer that because I was active in my teens and extremely flexable when I was younger I would be able to get that back because Our bodies remember things.

Like we have all heard about the fat cells not going away just shrinking and that they remember being fat. Our Muscles remember doing the active things.

I believe that being active when I was younger helped me a lot - I've always been quite athletic, if not gifted, then certainly competent at most things. If nothing more, I grew up playing sport and gained a love of being active that motivated me to exercise later on in life.

This made my day.

For years I worked in retail and my legs, butt and back were rock hard.

Then I got a cush job and over the years got flabby.

I hope these muscles remember me back in the day.

This has happened to my DSW, she has lost 50 Lbs. but a ton of inches. Just keep up the good work and soon the scale will start to show it.

good Luck
