Now, I just wanted to post that I have been continuing to run, bowflex, or do the Wii Active I bought this week! I have gained a little of the weight back that I had lost. I'm still down 5 pounds from last Tuesday when I started. I figure the difference is the muscle. Believe it or not, I'm starting to see some in my arms! Check the measurements...I'm updating tonight...
