It really does let you look better AND eat more cupcakes (or cookies or tofu or whatever). <BR/><BR/>The only down side to muscle is it messes with scale numbers, inflating them artificially. I say: screw the scale. And congrats for the looser pants, which is a much more authentic measure of progress than the dumb old scale!Crabby McSlackerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12108791388350253344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33059794.post-2186728194942699492007-11-10T09:43:00.000-08:002007-11-10T09:43:00.000-08:00Muscle weighs more than fat.

Hooray!, because muscle helps speed up your metabolism by burning more calories when you are at rest.<BR/><BR/>Sometimes it pays to ignore the scale.
