Saving money is alway hard. I can not do it either. As for the other thing, muscle weights more than the other stuff, so stay positive. You are doing awsome, and don't let anyone even your self say otherwise :)
I've been in similair financial straits since last year, and am only now just starting to see some savings stay in my bank account. You'll get there too--it can take a long time for money stuff to balance out. As long as you're keeping your credit good, you're doing everything you can, and it will get better. It's a real pain though, I sympathize.
As for fitness--you know you have a hot body, so I wouldn't worry as long as you eat enough good stuff and not too much bad stuff. Everyone--even the most healthy of health enthusiasts--gains some weight as they get older, and it's more a matter of staying healthy than staying teen/early-20's razor thin. It really sounds like you're doing everything right, so you should be proud of yourself. =)
As much as you've been working, it could be that you're gaining muscle mass. If you're looking to track progress, maybe try one of those scales that measures (I have no idea how) your body fat percentage? Or see if your doctor can measure that for you or something like that.
Yeah, I know muscle weighs more. But I'm pretty sure it isn't muscle due to the physical way my clothes fit.
IE- the belt I wore 1 year ago or so with the worn holes fits with a brand new set of holes further out.
;)
I somehow do not think muscle suddenly makes your waist balloon, although I am sure I have nicer muscles under the thin layer of flab on my legs, because my legs can physically do more than they were able to a year or so ago.
Or 6 months ago.
And yeah, I could buy a pincher device to pinches your flubber to see just how much body fat percentage I have. Blargity blarg blarg. :D I suppose I could talk to a doctor/nutritionist and see if there's any insight they can give me? About that stuff. Do they talk about that stuff? Is that preventative maintenance? How do I know if that kind of visit is covered, etc?

No clue if a regular doctor can provide that information or not (mine have always said "lose weight", until recently when my current doc decided to check my thyroid). But you go to a gym, right? They might have resources there.
I recall that when I was considering joining the military, they checked my body fat percentage by weighing me, measuring my wrist, neck, and hips, and inputting the figures into a computer. Dunno how accurate that was though.

Wheee, more comments for Angela. Anyway, just a head's up about the weight thing: I'm currently taking a nutrition/applied fitness class at school, and I'd be happy to share what I learn if you'd like to know.
