In any case, the bodybugg trainer suggested measuring every two weeks, so I think that might give me a more accurate picture (or frustrate me twice as often!). Darned tape measures!

Muscle is supposed to be <em>smaller</em> than fat, though. The same thing is happening to me. I swear I am seeing <em>no</em> significant difference in my measurements at all, but my weight and body fat are down and according to photographs, I am noticeably smaller. (I'm even wearing smaller clothes, but the tape measure says the same thing. Huh?) Thanks for linking to me, by the way! I returned the favor. :)
