You know, the idea that we can "let it go until we reach p4" seems a bit like "I'll start my diet tomorrow" philosophy. Muscle mass is like bone mass, we need to safeguard it. I stated above that I quit my excessive exercise routine....but to say you are going to wait until the weight is off to do any exercise is going to come back to bite you. You need to do as much as you can...and you need to constantly evaluate that to see if you can and should do more. Part of our problem as over weight americans is we tend to find the easy way out...the one requiring the least sweat. In the end, we all need to change our eating habits and our sweating habits to stay thin....might as well get used to both while on p2 and p3 and then keep re-evaluating through life, just as we do our food choices !!
