1TiredWoman's Journal, 14 May 2014

A little frustrated today. I've actually gained weight. I know that my muscle mass has increased from 52.9 pounds to 55.8 pounds but I still don't feel like I'm making as much progress towards being skinny as I want.

The workouts are killing me. My wrists hurt from lifting weights and doing push-ups.

We are in week 3 of 8. I hope I get better results.
132.3 lb Lost so far: 0 lb.    Still to go: 12.3 lb.    Diet followed reasonably well.

Comments 
Exercise (especially weight lifting) causes the muscles to get little tears in the fibers and they retain water to help them heal. This can show on the scale as a temporary gain, smaller loss than usual or no loss. Google "Why the scale lies" for insight. Changing your bodies composition takes a lot of time, patience, persistence and work. You just have to stick with it.
