Hi all !!!
I am sure some of you have seen one of my posts where i complain that my scale won't budge, and hasn't forever now...... I started taking the phen again in June and seriously my weight has not really budged..... I am about 135 now, I was maybe at the highest 142 on a bloated day back in June.
I have been eating right, very healthy approx 1200 calories a day. I also have been walking/jogging every morning for about 45 minutes or more , partially up hill. Sometimes I also take a brisk walk as well at night with my hubby for about 30 minutes. I have also been working with free weights, doing squats, and workout tapes 4 times a week.
Well even though my weight has not changed, my body really has.... I can see muscle definition, my arms, legs, abs tightening up, etc. I really noticed it when I sat down in the shower the other day to shave and it wasn't so comfy and padded as before. My butt bone was hitting the ground, kinda uncomfortable!!! LOL Also, when I do my oblique excersise, my hip bone kinda hits the floot, unlike before it was so padded.... all new to me, but really cool! My thighs are actually feeling kinda hard.
And then, I went to the mall and comfortabley fit into a pair of size 6 jeans !!!
So even though the scale hasn't changed I have definitley lost fat and replaced it with muscle. And that is why I think people like me who do not have much to lose should stop driving themselves crazy with the scale as I did for so long. As a matter of fact, I barely weight myself now, beciase it is pointless, if I went off the scale I would be just get frustrated. You have to go by how your body looks, and how you feel. I say all you ladies who have been struggling to lose the last 10 or 20 but you are doing everything right, to get rid of the scale !!!! It can seriouly sabotage your efforts, which almost happened to me.... Until I decided to tell the scale to piss off !!!!
Also don't get hung up on a goal weight !!! Make your goal to be as fit as possible, to change your lifestyle to a healthy one that you enjoy and can do forever (without phen)
I have also cut back on the phen, only take it every other day now, and plan to wean myself by Sep 9th (when I leave to Kauaii) I now feel confident that with my new habits and love for excersise that I will have no prob maintaining and continuing to get more fit and in shape. Its great, I got my hubby on the band wagon too.... he has been working out too... we made our own home gym. He looks great !!! His body has changed so much, he is getting hunkier every day !! LOL
I remember when people used ot tell me when I was upset over not losing weight "its becuase you are building muscle" and I always thought that was a bunch of crap , they were just trying to make me feel better..... but you know what, it is true. We have just been so brain washed that we have to see a number change on the scale.
Good luck all !!!!
