A member asked:
Hello. i started working out since april 2013. since then, i stopped altogether, and i'm losing weight and can see it in my arms and lower legs. why?

LIkely 2 levels answ: First, working out will increase some muscle mass and metabolic demands. Stopping working out will still allow those larger muscles to consume more calories. Second, eventually working out stopping will cause muscle loss and secondary weight loss.
