I know, right?? I don't think I would have really believed it without trying this. And trying this was scary just for that reason. Not that I'm even trying to lose weight - it's just that I've always just had the vague impression that if I skipped a workout I would immediately gain 10 pounds.

Congrats on everything, I'm glad to hear you're moving in the right direction!

Thanks jesca! I'm glad you're taking the test! I'm excited to hear how it turns out for you. For me it was the second half of the test that was the big eye-opener - the questions about cold, digestion issues, etc. I never really put that together with exercise/diet. I just thought I was one of those people who is cold all the time.

awesome work. It should let us all know how important REST should be in our workout plans. Rest does not have to mean weight gain and you proved that.
