hey all, first i wanna say that i don't trust the scales at the gym.
So when I first started on my work out plan (mid Dec.) I bought a scale to keep at home. I was weighed in, at the gym, tipping the scales at a (to me) whooping 179, with a 33.1 BMI. Now granted I know a lot of my weight is in my rear end. I can't help it, big ones just fall in the family genes.
Well on Wed (jan 23) I finished my weekly work out with my trainer, and got weighed, and taped again.
Well while the scale at the gym still says 179 (i think it was the sweat that I had just worked up, and the clothes I was wearing - without shoes ... i learned that much in the army), i lost 3 inches on my waist, another 2 inches on my butt. I gained a half inch on my calves, and my biceps (i've been working these a lot, my legs are my best assest).
of course when i get home, the scale says 176.6.
So while its not much for me, i still feel great, and have inspired a few friends to go work out as well.
