So, the gain is definitely due to muscle mass and the whey protein I've added to my diet. But I lost 8.9" in various parts of my body this month with a 4 pound loss for the month, so I'm not complaining at all. Now that I'm more into the fitness area than weight loss, I'll take the inches lost over weight qty. Still a rate of 4 pounds a month will get me to goal in less than 2 months. But with working out 5 days/wk I doubt I'll keep losing at that rate. Eventually I'll start building more muscle. I'm already at the size I want to be I just want to tone and get stronger, so imo my body is a constant work. I still eat fairly LC in order to aid in gaining muscle (120 NC/day), but LC has become a WOL for me After 2 years of doing it, you just get used to black coffee instead of cappuccino and almond milk instead of cow's milk. It just becomes the way you eat. It helps that hubby has been on board this whole time. Even now as I move into the fitness phase. I'm happy with my progress and will continue to keep pushing. I'm only going to do my measurements once a month so there won't be a lot of updates on that. But I'll still probably try to weigh in weekly just to make sure I'm at the right protein intake.
