May/June Weight Management Challenge

[carlotta]

168.

I'm early, but the parents are coming into town tomorrow and who knows where I'll be over the holiday. Going to try and behave, even though parents in town=lots of unhealthy food. It's their first time visiting, and my dad has already informed me that we're eating at least two cheesesteaks (so he can make comparisons). And we're not even going to places that I consider to have halfway decent cheesesteaks.

Have a good weekend, all

103.8
I haven't seen this number since, oh, about 1992.
Don't worry, I just have to eat half a whole wheat bagel to gain a few ounces.

135. Five down, 10 to go. On the right track.

145.5 - down 3 lbs which is great. I really should be between 130-133 though...

Went up again, another 2 pounds to 219. After biking regularly for three weeks and increasing miles every week, I can only assume it's muscle weight. I can feel new muscles all over and I have been watching my diet (although it could improve). I will be happy when I start burning fat.

You might start to see looser clothes before you see a decrease in weight. That's a sure sign you're gaining muscle and losing fat .

Provided that you are not eating too much, the weight gain likely is mostly water, which is not uncommon when increasing exercise, as part of the muscle healing process and to facilitate storage of glycogen. It is hard to gain more than about a 1/2 a pound a month in muscle for women.
