You need to know how many calories you are eating! If too much, you will gain weight and too little you will loose muscle! Go to fitday and try to figure your meals and post these numbers with your meals!

I know I have actually gained a total of 4 lbs since starting to work with GP... and I have lost 2 inches on my waist.. so I think I can assume the extra weight is muscle.. although I would definitely like more! I wrote GP and asked him about the caloric intake... when he gets back to me I will go to fitday and try to figure out my meals....
THANK YOU!!!!

Hi Sapph!

I had a very interesting nite tonight! I did my workout and then I went to a store and saw this really hot outfit for my GF. I was wondering of an opinion from you!

I call them spandex hot pants!! I'm wondering if I should get them for her! I think their awesome!!! I'm going to snap a picture of them soon and tell me if you think their cool. Also, I found this fragrance too, and I believe it will make her melt! Do you think it's possible for a woman to melt at the scent of a man's cologne combined with his overall?

BTW, how was your workout tonight? Sweaty?

First of all!! Yes to the question about the cologne!! As long as you don't drench yourself in it.... just a touch to mix with your natural smell is yummy!!

Hmm spandex hot pants huh?? I think if YOU think they are awesome.. she will like to wear them!! Are they for the gym??

My workout was good last night.. spinning... not as sweaty as Sunday's class, but yup I was sweaty. It's really hot and humid here is NY, so I am kinda sweaty pretty much all the time!! LOL!!

Tonight is Upper Body weights and Spinning....

How about you ?? What are you doing tonight at the gym??

Since my heart is pure, true and full of love, I got what I always wanted in life and bc/ I think your heart is like mine, I think you'll get everything you want, need and deserve!!! Your a very special woman, you know!!!

BTW I have the BEST sisters in the world and I love them so MUCH!!!
So cute!!!!!!! I bet your sister's would highly appreciate what you said here! Have you told them this verbally? Don't forget your cute little doggie! Doggie loves you too!!

BTW, I see your eating habits have changed just slightly!! No KASHI!!! Keep up the great work, Sapph!!!!

Saph...I hope everything works out. It takes a special person to realize that you are not getting what you want out of life. Too many people settle for comfort. You are an incredible person for being able to look at the situation the way you are. Please don't lose touch with this board. I am sure you have developed some real tight friendships on this board and we will support ya......Read my sig.......Another thing.....Check out Lauryn Hill's Unplugged 2 Disc CD, it's soul food........ It helped me heal in my time of need......Please check it out and tell me what you think......The quotes in my sig are lyrics from the CD......Be Strong!
