What is going on with me?
Hey folks,
So I've been coming to this forum for a little while now, ever since my restart, but never posted. Whats going on with my weight loss is a bit perplexing, so I'm wondering if any of you have had similar experiences.
A little background, I'm a 25yo male, former college football player, that shot up to damn near 300 pounds at 5'10" after kidney problems forced me to quit football. That was 5 years ago.
I started Oct. 6, at 291. I was 256.6 this morning. Body fat has dropped from 47% to 38%, Muscle mass has increased from 29% to 32.1%.
Basically, whats going on is I haven't lost ANY inches around my waist, manboobs, or thorax in 3 weeks. I've lost pounds, but the pounds of body fat I've lost has been greater than my overall weight loss. Normally I'd chalk that up to water weight, but since I was already drinking a couple gallons of water a day to try to prevent massive kidney stones from forming, I refuse to believe I've put on 8 pounds of water weight (and kept it on). I've also lost about 6 pounds of muscle mass.
So, in a nutshell, I'm losing more pounds of body fat than total pounds, losing some muscle mass, and not losing inches. I can't help but think this can't be right.
I've had a few slip ups, but not for 3 weeks at least.
Any ideas?
