skinny or lean part 2/ Taking measuremens properly

[imsassi]

Ok, I need to get down 10 to 15 lbs...this vid makes so much sense as did the first one, you do an excellent job in explaining..never been on a diet in my life. One of your vids, just before moving to Ca you had been eating lots of bread (my downfall) and gained, you wanted to get that weight off before moving - did you accomplish that. I have so much to learn, but need to take control before it gets totally out of hand. Thanks doll.

@imsassi LOL, you are sooo fabulous. I can see that your little brain is working overtime and learning the tricks, and something tells me you are going to be friggin awesome:) I did loose my weight, but not before leaving Canada. Kept on going with the sandwiches. However, without dieting just cutting the bread when we got here, no calorie cutting, I went back to where I was before the bread disaster:) I'm still not as lean as I want to be for summer, so I should start dieting soon:)

hi I'm not going to ask for a diet plan or anything but if u could just answer something how can i tell if i need to eat less to lose fat or exercise more to lose fat forenstenc iv been exercising for the past 5 but never really lost anything be it wight or fat and my mom always told me thet u will lose wight before u gain muscle but i have muscular arm and calves now but never have i lost the fat in my arms or calves that's what i don't understand =S

[thebarbiewithmuscle]

@theCrazyladybug That is exactly why it is important to take measurements. If your weight stays the same, and your shrink in measurements, that means you are building muscle and loosing fat. If you are loosing weight but no inches, it means your fat are staying the same and you are loosing muscle (not working hard enough). Take measurements over the next couple of months every week or two and watch for shrinkage, and ignore the scale.

@hipretty you are welcome hun:)

[julisajulie]

It really does help, thank you!!

[julisajulie]

I've been trying to tone up for months now and I'm starting like my the way my body looks. Most of my fat is stored on my stomach and back. I feel like a skinny fat girl!! My weight hasn't changed in about a month and I'm not sure if I should still be losing weight or staying the same because I'm toning up. Maybe I should be pushing myself more. Don't know. I really am enjoying your videos. Thanks!!

[thebarbiewithmuscle]

@julisajulie Hi hun, I can't answer that question for you. If you are happy about how things are happening, then why worry? If you need to lose fat, your weight should be going down. Unless you are on steroids, you can't build more muscle than fat you are loosing. Yes muscle weigh more than fat, but if you are leaning out, your scale should be going down, about a pound a week. Depending on how much fat you have to start out with, will depict what your scale will do:) Hope this helps. "M"

Farting against thunder - OMG - you kill me! XOXO!!! I am going to get you my measurements tomorrow! I would do it tonight, but I don't have today's paper.

[thebarbiewithmuscle]

No problem hun, we won't start the contest before everyone is set up:) Glad you're having fun

[FutureFit123]

"It's like Farting against thunder, thunder is gonna win" LOL You are so smart and I am learning so much from you. I love that you are so hilarious too. :-)

[thebarbiewithmuscle]

Well hun, life is supposed to be fun. It might be hard sometimes, and we get all sorts of disappointments, but life in itself is great! If we can't laugh, we can just as well give up and die. Glad you are having fun on my channel. That is the point, having fun and learning.

You are so welcome. Thanks for taking the time to comment, Ilove talking to all you sexy girls.

[screaminlisa]

You haven't offended me at all...people are too sensitive. I found these videos very helpful! Great job!

I need to lose some weight but oh God I hate to work out now...LOL...must change that.

[nuovowitch]

Thank you so much for doing this. I promised myself that I would rely on the scale....that I would go by dress sizes however I will have my husband take my measurements over the weekend. Will you talk about food intake?

[thebarbiewithmuscle]

If people are not starting to get bored, that will be the next subject. One or two "fluffy" videos to entertain people who are not on the same journey as us, and then right back onto nutrition.

[thebarbiewithmuscle]

I send you a message on your home page.

[thebarbiewithmuscle]

Thanks Colleen, Johan can't wait to see your arms! I told him how your biceps have really come along very nicely.

[elainey0007]

preech it sista!!! :-))

[thebarbiewithmuscle]

Holy cow you are funny!

[magicadespell56]

offended?-My husbands family are skinny fat people-If they need something heavy moved they ask me to do it LOL-.When my daughter lived at home i did not own a scale only because she would live on the scale and gripe how much she weighed.. AWW thats why you loose so much in low carb..did not know its all h20- there are times you feel like you lost a few pounds only to see you gained.. scales can ruin the plan- i hope people listen to you. X shelly.(laughing healthy spirit =quicker results)

[thebarbiewithmuscle]

There you go hunnybun, you got it! Don't get discouraged, it is not ALL water, but most of it is. I'm going to want to meet the whole bunch of you guys in the flesh one day. I'm having waaayy to much fun here.
