Believe it or not I'm actually on the decline. I was freaking out that I'd gained more than 10 lbs as soon as I began weight lifting. But I've gone from a size XL to a L in all of my clothes. My friends keep telling me not to worry but I've got a life of weight loss experience and only two months of weight lifting experience...judging by the scale is a hard habit to break.
So one of my friends who is an ex-lifter let me know that she is certain that I'm not consuming enough protein to compete with my lifting. So, now I am sampling different vegan protein powders. Made banana icecream using the protein powder (frozen banana, coconut milk, protein powder) and it was freaking delicious. This is going to be a fun experiment to see which protein powder I like the best.
Got a pool party to go to next week. And I'm rocking the bikini!

I know what you mean, that is what I used to worry about because the scale would say different things. I became to realize that muscle weights a lot more then fat but it is thinner. Keep it up!! and please share your recipes when you can!

a lb is a lb muscle is denser and takes up a lot less volume than fat.

Hey Anita Love, yesterday's banana ice cream was made with two frozen bananas and the chocolate flavored protein powder. I'm vegan so I don't drink milk. I used coconut milk, but you can definitely do soy milk or almond milk. Start with a half cup, and if your blender is blending still add a little more until it starts blending your bananas. It should turn into a nice soft-serve consistency. Don't use ice...your frozen bananas are your ice :)
Pterath, thanks for commenting. I think Anita already knows that a lb is a lb, actually I think everyone does, but muscle weighs more than fat is so much easier to say. :)
Thanks Tamarah!

I use bananas , almond milk, vanilla, and a wee bit of xantham gum( if you have any). I do the same thing with frozen strawberries.
