updated. Didn't loose any weight this past week, but had 5 days of productive workouts. I am on baby watch as my wife and I are expecting our first any day. That will likely impact my workout routine, but hopefully not too much.

Bad news for you...my youngest is just over three months and is starting to sleep through the night with more regularity (after only doing it for the first time about a week ago)Quote:

Now I want biscuits and gravy.Sean98 said:
I didn't weigh in this morning so I'll get it tomorrow. With 3 days of big meals and 2 days of trudging through icy bird fields I'm not sure if I'll weigh more or less... my guess is more but we'll see. Biscuits and gravy and pizza weigh more than a shotgun does, even my heavy ass 11-87.
I generally work out over lunch at a gym downstairs. As soon as I get back to the office, the plan is to continue that trend assuming I have any energy left after sleepless nights.XpressAg09 said:Bad news for you...my youngest is just over three months and is starting to sleep through the night with more regularity (after only doing it for the first time about a week ago)Quote:

I'm finally able to get to the gym or out of the house now...after three months.
You're in for a world of hurt...sleepless, stinky, spit-up-filled hurt.

Status Report, Ags.
4.38% of the year has passed and we are at 165 lbs. lost, which translates to 11.77% of our goal.
Gotta love losing that water weight!XpressAg09 said:

I ran in the rain last night. I absolutely HATE running on a tradmill, so it was either do some P90x or get outside in the rain anyway. It was actually a great run, and faster than I have run in a long time.TexasAggie_02 said:
i walked 22 miles last week. Rain is putting a damper on that this week though.

How are you determining that? Without weights I would expect that 11 lbs to be a combination of fat and muscle. Our bodies like to hold onto fat but they don't like holding onto muscle that isn't being used.toolshed said:
My weigh in yesterday overall yielded a gain of 2 lbs, but the breakdown was that I lost 2 lbs fat, gained 3 lbs water and gained a little muscle as well. So I'm loading up on water this week and continuing the diet plan, since it seems to be yielding the fat loss that I need. So far since early December I am down 11 lbs of just fat with diet alone. I need to add in some weight/ resistance and some more aerobic exercising to boost the fat loss. But I'm happy with the results thus far, I didn't gain it all overnight, it's not going to go away overnight!!
I notice the fit of clothes is different and the inches lost vs. just the impact of the number on a scale as well. My wife gets frustrated that the numbers don't move a lot for her, but she's been able to step down in pant sizes already, even though her total lbs lost is a relatively small number.LoudestWHOOP! said:
Why did I post this other than being kind of proud of my "progress"?
If I solely used weight to judge my progress I would have been very frustrated. YMMV
Keep it up everyone, I am no where near being done.
I think the never being HANGRY has been one of the best things about this Keto "diet".toolshed said:I notice the fit of clothes is different and the inches lost vs. just the impact of the number on a scale as well.

I wouldn't try to get too precise with a Tanita scale. BIA scales have quite a large error rate based on their inherent limitations (electricity takes the path of least resistance, and thus won't even hit your arms or torso). BIA scales tend to underestimate body fat by 5-10 pounds compared to a more robust test.toolshed said:
The program that my wife and I are doing has a Tanita scale that measures and gives a read out of your overall weight, BMI, fat %, fat mass, muscle weight, water weight, plus a few other numbers. So each week I have a print out of all the numbers that I can track.
As far as shedding muscle, that's why we regulate and make sure we consume the right amount of protein calories. If we don't get enough lean protein calories, then yes, you see your muscle weight decrease. For me, 6'3", started at almost 300 lbs, I have to get in 1100 calories of lean protein, plus some veggies and fats. It's essentially a ketonic diet.
