I was so surprised when I learned that too, SweatPea. It seems you don't actually gain or lose fat cells, it's the
same number. When you lose weight you are merely shrinking them down
in size. No matter really, same result in the end if you lose weight, you lose
weight, just not cells. 
One of the best things I saw on The Biggest Loser (I dont recall which season) was when at the end, they had the contestants run a certain
distance and back. Then gave them a back pack filled with weights that
represent how much they had lost, so they could FEEL a difference in their
body when they ran. I'm not sure what this has to do with the current
topic, but it just reminded me I guess because there was a visual of the
weight lost I guess. 
Keep pushing Forward Mindi- the tortoise won the race, not the hare! |
