Muscle is gold :love: You will up your metabolism by adding mass :) Do not fear the weight training! Without mass if you do lose the weight you will look like a skinny blob <yuck> Muscle makes you smooth, tight, and healthy looking :) ============ Quoting from preppyboy109: No im trying to loose weight lol im 15 5'9 238 pounds i dont wanna add mass lol i wanna loose fat.:big_smile: ============= -------------- Damselfly Whoever said that sunshine brings happiness never danced in the rain. \\"unknown\\"

	2004/07/28, 10:29 PM Well, the make me look forward to something to drink after my workouts :). Protein helps repair/rebuild those muscles. Muscle burns fat quicker but I'd be willing to bet its the workouts, cardio and eating habits that has you looking so GREAT :dumbbell:
