Something is up, i just know it.

A week and a half ago I was sitting at a very steady 132 which lasted about a month. It was frustrating. Then all of the sudden, I came back from a weekend away last Sunday and I was down to 127. I get on the scale again today (saturday), and it says 125.

The part I don't understand is that I look the EXACT same!

Now, I've done pretty well with eating, haven't gone over, haven't gone out to eat. But I also haven't really exercised in the last 3 weeks. I went running once this weekend, other wise I did a few odd strength exercises here and there. Am I loosing my muscle weight?


ahhhh

Same, I've lost almost 40 lbs, and I'm not seeing it.

garstar, those seven pounds came from all over your body,that is why it is hard to see. Do you take your measurements? That is sometimes a better gauge than the scale.

I had to lose about 20 lbs before I could see a difference. Even at that point, neither my DH or DD noticed anything.

That makes sense. No I haven't taken measurement, just pictures.


I suppose it takes more to see a difference. Also, I'm sure that exercising more will help, loosing fat and creating more muscle.

Any one have any good cardio ideas for someone like me who has really bad knee pain? Thanks!

Sometime a smaller amount of weightloss is hard to see for ourselves and people close to us... Using other forms of measurments such as pics, a tape measure, or the pant-o-meter is a much better gauge...

Aren't your clothes fitting different? I like to use my waist measurement as a barometer for weight loss.

You totally sound like me! I really like the idea of doing cardio, but I can't run 2 min without my knees throbbing!

Then....I fell in love with the Elliptical Machine. Low impact, and I get a good sweat without the pain! I've also heard swimming is good too on the ole joints, but I hate water! (Strange I know!)
