Guest Posted August 11, 2006 Posted August 11, 2006 I was just wondering that last week, I went on the scale and it said that I lost 29 or 30 lbs but this week it said that I gained 2 1/2 to 3 lbs. I watch what I eat and I splurge sometimes but its rare, I exercise about 4 to 5 times a week but yet a dress that I have couldn't fit me a few weeks ago and can fit me now. I don't understand. Should I go by the scales or how my clothes fits?
stoopid_guy Posted August 11, 2006 Posted August 11, 2006 I'd rather pay attention to clothes. Depending on what type of exercise you're doing, you may actually gain weight but trim down. Muscle is more dense than fat, so if you're building muscle and reducing fat, you're increasing your density and getting healthier.
magichands Posted August 11, 2006 Posted August 11, 2006 but yet a dress that I have couldn't fit me a few weeks ago and can fit me now. Now that's what I call seeing the results! You must be pleased about that? Congratulations. I don't understand. Should I go by the scales or how my clothes fits? Me neither - but how do you feel? Got more energy??
Heavenseventeen Posted August 12, 2006 Posted August 12, 2006 The clothes always make me feel better, but the scales can disappoint. No one will see your weight, but they will see the lack of inches.
