Woohoo! Another loss! I'm only trying to maintain and build muscle, which I thought meant weight gain, but I'm going in the opposite direction! What a pleasant surprise :) Almost lost a pound this week. And I can feel myself growing muscle, if that's even possible. I feel toner.
I haven't measured myself. I actually haven't measured in a month, but I weigh a little more than I was back then, so I doubt there's much of a change (if any). But I could still do it. Maybe next month. I'm in no rush.
My workouts alone are motivating me. Really enjoying the power-walking and weightlifting. Did one weightlifting workout this week, which is great, since my goal is to do at least one a week. Walked the rest of the days (4/5). So I've been consistent with my workouts, and just trying to stay under my RDI, which I did 5/7 days, so that's pretty good. The 2 days I went over, it was only by 100-200 calories, which might actually be good for my metabolism. But I have a goal in mind and I try to reach it every day.
I'm psyched to be losing weight. Would be nice to get back to the 160s. But no promises, lol. I love you guys. Thanks for your support. Keep on keeping on.

Congratulations. It's interesting too it may show up in measuring one area of the body and not another. I've accumulated some extra 'fat' in the past month - and am working to turn that train around - but I'd been looking at a couple of markers and not noticing it. Then I saw something like... oh .. the bones in my feet aren't as prominent and went 'whoa, Nellie...' Could be swelling from all the pickles I've been taking in - too much sodium - but still to be addressed. Glad you're psyched - that is the best feeling. I want to catch it again.

Good for you, you are doing great! Of course, you probably will see a change in measurements because of all the exercising you do. "Muscle weighs more than fat" but inches tell the tale.
