Yea, i don’t know how thats possible. Obviously my scale is off badly, but whats correct- today’s weight or the past months?
True I’ve been working out for a while and noticed that although physically I looked alot thinner and lost tons of fat, on the scale it would be a pound here and there each week. So maybe its correct now? No idea, but i’ve got some weights at home that i can test the scale with. Its just kinda scary getting on the scale and seeing the numbers start falling down drastically. I literally weighed myself like 3 times and each showed the same amount. Body fat percentage showed a 7% decrease too. Thats pretty amazing if it were true.
Oh yea, i’m also getting a little tired of my friends saying i look too small or lost too much weight. I swear, if i post up my pictures from before to now, they’d change their mind. I was never buff, just knew how to make myself look that way w/ the fat i had =P Besides, I think losing the fat is priority because I can always get bigger from that, its tough to gain muscle fast while at the same time losing weight – i figure do one first before the other (better to have a smaller but ripped body than a bigger body thats still somewhat chubby.)
That happened to me too, though I didn’t lose 20 pounds. I’m already small so 20 would have been a bit much. I worked so hard to lose fat for months and lost a pound here and there, then gained it back even though I was being consistent. You’re body WANTS to stay at a certain point.
All of a sudden I lost a ton of fat, and I wasn’t even trying that hard anymore. I don’t know what happened. At that point, I realized I wasn’t lifting as well either. It’s a fine line you draw between gaining strength and lowering body fat. If I could offer my advice, I would say start eating a little bit more; you probably won’t gain any fat but you’ll feel a lot better and see more strength gains.
I like the blog…keep up the good work!
