Guest guest Posted August 27, 2001 Report Share Posted August 27, 2001 Wayne, Have you been on the scale? You bad boy!!!! LOL You really are losing weight, you just don't " see " it reflected on that darn scale. Most people don't " see " a weight loss for several weeks. Please put the darn thing in the trunk of your car and forget about it for the next 11 weeks. Please don't be depressed. By weeks 4-6, you will have to put a couple of more notches in your belt but you may not " see " a weight loss on the scale. Hang in there! Been there, done that, threw the darn scale at a personal trainer! MP > Congrats to all of you who posted such excellent results to the list...

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2001 Report Share Posted August 27, 2001 Aww, c'mon Wayne, give yourself a break! No need to feel depressed. Watch my lips...body...for...LIFE. One more time...body...for... (you say it....). Right! for LIFE. That can be a fairly long time, if you're careful. One week does not a life make, right? Besides, you're in the process of building muscle, right? Muscle is denser than fat. Muscle weighs MORE than fat. So, follow me now, if you weigh the same...since you're building muscle...HEY! You just lost a lot of fat!!! Congratulations, Wayne on finishing your first week. Now, back to the gym and lets knock off week number two, too. (tutu? not again!)

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2001 Report Share Posted August 27, 2001 Ahh, MP, you caught me too. I'm only on my C1W2D1 and I've stepped on the scale hoping to see results. Stupid, stupid, stupid. And I know better. It is a bit depressing not to see the scale drop significantly, but I feel good and am still highly motivated. I need to hide the darned thing to keep me from using it for at least 3 more weeks. -- -----Original Message-----From: muscleprincess@...

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2001 Report Share Posted August 27, 2001 Hi, I am also a C1W2D1 and I have only seen a 1/2 pound loss, but I was amazed at yesterday. It was my free day and the food didn't taste as good as I thought it would. I ended the night with a protein shake and 1/2 banana....Today the cardio was a little harder to do afte taking the day off yesterday...Is this normal not to really like the taste of my old favorites??? __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 27, 2001 Report Share Posted August 27, 2001 Wayne, Don't stress out. Everyone's body is different and will respond in slightly different ways. Considering you've been on Craig for so long, you might not have the same amount of water weight to dump like I probably had. In the past week, I've actually gained weight... but I'm positive it was muscle and not fat. Like others have said, this is for life. If we get discouraged and quit, are we going to be any different a year from now than we are today? And is that how we want to look? It's a big mindset change, but if you accept that if you are doing this for the long haul, there is *no way* you won't get your results. And as others have said... get off the scale and leave that to the neurotic people on this list like me. ;-) Results > Congrats to all of you who posted such excellent results to the list...

Wayne, I second Les' opinion...as one who has not seen much improvement via the scale, I know how depressing that can be. In fact on my first challenge I think I actually gained weight in my second week. You need a paradigm shift. Stop looking to the scale!!!!! IT IS YOUR ENEMY!!!

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2001 Report Share Posted August 27, 2001 I'm also guilty of the "scale thing", but I am seeing a lot of weight loss. I've gone from 240 to 216 in about three weeks. Does this mean I'm probably losing muscle? More protein?

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2001 Report Share Posted August 27, 2001 Lana, I experienced this for the first time today. I was doing pulldowns and noticed the muscles in my forearms were getting really noticable. I ended up doing 10 reps when I was supposed to be doing 6 because I was so excited watching my newfound muscles. Then I smashed my finger with a weight and buzzkill. -----Original Message-----From: Lana Sent: Monday, August 27, 2001 3:29 PMTo: bodyforlife Subject: Re: ResultsI personally think it's cool that I can flex musclesnow I never knew I had! hah.

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2001 Report Share Posted August 27, 2001 .... wooo... you go girl! strong forearms are a *goooood* thing. There's alot of stuff you can't do without a strong forearm. For example: about a month or month & 1/2 ago, I was doing straight leg deadlifts (with a barbell). My 6 was 80 pounds and the bar was slipping from my grip. It hurt, but I finished it.... I also aquired a very freaky looking bruise in the middle of my inside forearm. That freaked me out a bit so I backed off. I haven't done straight leg deads in a few weeks, so I gave it a go the other day... 100# for 4 or 5 reps and my grip was fine! It was the hamstrings this time that were cussing me. LOL. I think I need that glutamine now! Lana Re: Results > > > I personally think it's cool that I can flex muscles > now I never knew I had! hah.

Guest guest Posted August 28, 2001 Report Share Posted August 28, 2001 Yes, I've found that my tastes have changed. Some of my favorite places that I used ot like to eat, don't sound appealing anymore. Places that I didn't eat very often are now appealing to me every week. The balance of carbs & protein keeps insulin levels in check so you don't have the strong craving for certain foods that you used to. I've learned though to take advantage of free days and enjoy them. I might have an occasional treat every now and then if the situation arises, but don't usually feel like making a pig of myself anymore.

Guest guest Posted August 28, 2001 Report Share Posted August 28, 2001 Ouch! I just smashed mine between two 10 pounders. Of course, I had just run smack into one of the other machines while getting off the leg curl machine and almost ripped my arm off so I was looking like a real bigdumbdork at the time. And my husband was laughing so hard he nearly fell off his bench. See the kinda support I get? And here I am spending my precious free time acting as his campaign manager!
