koing is one of the best guys around here to talk to about this subject.

true

amused might be, too

I didn't know amused did weights. I might talk to Koing myself in a bit since I just joined a gym. I want to tone, but I don't really want or need to lose weight. I also need a "build-a-butt" plan! lol

Keep in mind toning in reality is losing weight. Less fat covering you muscles the more "toned" you look.

True, but what I guess I mean is that I'm not starting a workout regimen solely for weightloss. I know I'll trim up and that's fine. But won't I gain some weight back, possibly, with more muscle?

yeah you will gain some weight if you pack on some muscle but this is good. Ditch the scale on go by the way you look and how your clothing fits.

No No No....lol I'm not put off by gaining weight. The only real time I get weighed is at the doc's office unless I feel a significant change in how my clothes feel. I'd rather drop some of the excess fat, gain muscle, and a few pounds to look toned. :thumbsup:

Actually, a good build a but plan is running steps, and squatting.

In about a month and a half, I've put on over 20 pounds.

Unfortunately I can't do that. I have such bad osteoarthritis in my left knee (and some in my right) with that great crackle sound---has a name that starts with a "c", but I can't think of it) that my pain clinic doc said that it was the worst she'd seen and that it was 'creepy' bad. lol! I'll have to build my butt differently than that.
