Amazing.... almost 5 months in. My 19th weigh in and I was really concerned. I was having the most up and down week in terms of weight and I really wasn't eating & drinking as well as I could have been. I'll admit that I even ate a second protein bar yesterday because I was so damn hungry. I just came off a 3 week period so my 'normal' is so abnormal I don't quite know what the hormones are doing.
Anyway, I figured my weight would be up and it was. BUT.... thanks to the fact that our hormones do make us ladies retain water sometimes it turns out that's all it is....water. I was up .4 from my last weigh in but I lost 3 lbs of FAT! And my measurements this week.... hurray! I lost 1/4" from the chest, 1/4" from the waist (where most jeans waistbands are) and 1" from my hips! A whole inch! That means the fat around my belly is burning off baby! Woo-hoo!
My cool Fitbit scale isn't communicating with my computer these days for some stupid reason and it's been reading my body fat as super high so I couldn't even tell you what it was all week. Well, that was the even better news when I weighed on the fancy clinic scale! I am down to 31.9% which means I'm smack in the middle for acceptable BF for women in my age bracket! Yay, me! I'm still gunning for 25% but I will take 26-27% if that's where I land by the end of January. I have 13-14 lbs left according to my readout to get to 25%. Wherever I land, I am done in 7 weeks. I will not go past January on Phase 1. IF I lose a minimum of 3 lbs a week I will be done within 5 weeks with Phase 1. Hallelujah!
So.... I read at 157.7 this morning at home and 160.8 at the clinic. Since I lost 3 lbs of fat and my previous week I read 160.4 that means I should actually be at 157.4 lbs without the excess water. I just weighed myself again (I know I shouldn't, LOL) and I'm already down to 158 again. The water is almost gone! Woo-hoo!
Gunning for a 3-5 lb week!
