Current Weight: 263.5lbs Weight Loss This Week: +4.5 lbs Total Weight Loss So Far:Â 1.5 lbs
Well I am very disappointed. I exercised more than any week, ate more fruits and vegetables than ever before, and I gained 4.5 lbs.? It has to be fluid retention because I am eating a lot less. I can tell you that weight seems harder for me to lose now that I am over 40. It must mean that my metabolism has slowed down. I am gonna have to really step this program up if I am gonna lose the 80 lbs that I would like to. I gotta do it!
It is hard. But I give you big hairy muscle hugs for effort. I really think that burning off the calories and only eating what you can burn off is the positive way to go. I am here for support. You can do it.
Thanks Buff! big hugs back at ya!
If ANYONE will do it, it is you. Peace, Danny B
Thanks Danny!
Hey db, don’t forget that muscle mass is actually heavier than fat. My personal feeling is never go by weight, it’s very very deceiving. Granted I know we all fall into that trap of using the scale and feeling bad when our weight goes up. But I try to actually go by looking in the mirror, my physical feeling, and the fit of my clothing. Good luck, you’re on the right track.
Thanks RC! Yes I know I shouldn’t pay too much to the scale if I am doing everything right. I have added some weights to the workout so I hope that is it! I do fell better and I think I look not as puffy. Thanks for the encouragement!!
