Fitness Fridays #8: Have you hit a Brick Wall?

[Toby's my baby]

I've only lost about 5 pounds since I started, but I have gained a LOT of muscle. I can actually FEEL my abs, like bumpity bump. Hard to explain....


I feel SO horrible....I stayed at my grandma's Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday....and you know how grandma's are. I did have...one healthy meal... Chicken and Rice..gotta love it. Hopefully I can get myself back on track and start eatting right again.

Not hard to understand. You have such a low BF% that it isn't hard to believe that your abs are starting to show through! That is awesome!

Today the scale says I have lost 3 of those 6 pounds that I had gained back. So that puts me at 9 pounds lost. Geesh, I wish I could quit going back and forth and get this right!! I've been obsessed with the scale lately. How often do you guys weigh yourself?

Will someone send me a pm reminding me to eat and be healthy tomorrow..lol. I can use all the reminders and help I can get .

I'm gonna hop back on this badwagon - I had hopped off, gotten lazy, and stopped eating right and gained back 5 of the 10 pounds I had lost, and I'm ready to get rid of them again! The dogs and I are off for a walk.

Well, I've lost about 10 pounds since te beginning of summer...right now I'm just at a standstill and haven't lost or gained anything.

There's a Student Rec center right down the road from my dorm, and I'm very excited about that. I think once I get a little more settled I'll start using it. I want to try to get up in the mornings and go work out but I'm not a morning person, lol. I can see how new students gain weight though...the cafeteria has all the pies, cakes and ice cream one could ever want

I ate a blueberry muffin for breakfast and I just went and had lunch; Tomato Soup and a bowl of fruit. Not sure what I'm going to have for dinner yet.

Bumping this up . . . I think we got Fridays 7 started again somehow!



Robin: Only weigh yourself ONCE A WEEK! Don't obsess with the scales! That's not what's important! Eat healthy, exercise - that's what you need to focus on!!! Anyway . . . weigh yourself once a week to monitor your weight loss. And do it at the same time of day. When I was trying to lose, I would weigh every Sunday morning before breakfast. That way you will get an accurate weight. Otherwise . . . you will drive yourself crazy! Your weight will flucuate throughout the day & throughout the week! You need to be consistant! Hang in there hon! And just try to be healthy & not obsess about numbers right now!!! You're doing fantastic!!!
