Weigh-in Week of January 8

[Trek420]

I am working on building more lean muscle and shedding excess fat in doing so. So my scale will reead about the same (may go up), but it is just a number. I can more about my lean muscle mass. So, I will be working out a tad more and eating more, since for me, this is for life and it must be something I can maintain for my lifetime.

I'm with you on that one.

Doing nothing more than training for my two previous AIDS rides, no change in diet alone other than trying for more nutrition I dropped a lot of inches, I went down 4 pants sizes.

But my weight stayed the same.

Especially last ride oh baby I enjoyed the "bigger engine". That was fun! Chugging up hills I walked before, spinning up hills I plodded before...flying up a couple of hills I spun before...stopping on hills so I could give a stalled rider a running sprint push start.

Going by the numbers my weights scarey bad , 172 for 5'1"

Just gearing up now for June and wearing the same clothes. I feel good but would like to have to replace all of my jeans. The goal is be down to a 14 or even 12 by June.

I don't care about the weight, I just want to get stronger.

At 50 I figure I'm loosing muscle mass at a frightening clip.

Take care of the strength and the weight will take care of itself. That's my estrogen filled battle cry ;-)

Since I switched to the primarily vegan diet and added two days a week to my workout schedule I've been feeling fantastic but my weight isn't budging much (well not since that first glorious week of having it fall off of me ). I don't really mind though because I'm stronger and feel good, like you said "the weight will take care of itself".

I wish I could do that - just exercise and lose the fat (you're right, I don't care about the weight so much but I DO want to get rid of the layer of fat that covers them.) I have found that I can maintain my weight by exercising and I gain weight when I stop. I can only lose weight by changing what I eat (ie diet). I do weight training for shape and strength, and ride for cardio. If I end up staying the same weight, but losing the fat, I'll be happy.
