    Weigh in: Saturday
    Week 2
    Last Week: 428
    This week: 425

    Seems it is going slow and steady, still considering little to no exercise, I guess it ain't bad I am still loosing weight (fat and not water / muscle)

    I got a DEXA scan this past Monday. My last scan was five months ago. I rely on these scans more than my scale to tell me what my percent body fat is, among other things. Comparing this scan to the one I got last October, there is good news and bad news:
    • good news: I've lost another ~12 lbs of fat mass 😀
    • bad news: I also lost ~5 lbs of lean mass 😟
    • good news: my visceral adipose tissue is down another couple pounds to 3.08 lbs 😀
    • good news: the visceral adipose tissue volume is down from 146 to 90 cubic inches 😀
    • bad news: my percent body fat is still around 29% 😟
    • will I ever get down to <25% body fat? 🤔

    Apparently, despite increasing my consumption of protein, I have yet to see my muscle mass increase or even hold steady. I guess I'll have to get really serious about strength training.

    so that's what it is called. Always wanted to do one of those, as I believe that the ideal weight (85 kg) for me given my skeletal structure is not in the realm of possibility. Just depended on BIA measures from weight machines.

    wish you luck with the strength training, I need to do those as well.

    Sunday: Week Day 3

    SW: 157 lbs
    PW: 154.9 lbs
    CW: 154.4 lbs
    GW: 140 lbs

    Trending in the right direction slowly but surely. On a good note, my inches in my waist went from 35 to 34! I’m extremely happy about that! I can actually feel the difference in my tummy area.

    I was able to exercise while enjoying spending time with my family yesterday. We went skating, which I haven’t done in forever! It was so much fun! It was a break from my typical normal day workout. We really enjoyed it ☺️

    Goals/Day/Comments: I "ran" a 5K today for the first time. I say "ran", but my pace was just under 18 minutes/mile which isn't all that fast. But I learned it's doable, so I'll try doing more of it. Who knows, maybe I can do a half marathon at some point (with a mix of jogging/walking).

    I am always in awe of people able to run marathons...its not something i can ever see myself doing! Keep up the great work

    I’ve been logging my food but not exercising. Between what’s happening in the world and an upsetting situation at work I can’t get motivated.

    Week3 Roundtable Discussion: WRD
    Whats your “Why”??
    Lets mentally prepare ourselves for this temptation-filled weekend!!

    …. Share with us your reasons for being here and working at this every day! Why do you keep getting back on the wagon??

    And if you could also incorporate some pictures. Sometimes the best way to paint a picture is to share a picture of what you mean.

    Let’s keep pushing through! One more week and we’re finishing up March!
    Where do you want to be in April?

    *Sigh. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong here. I’ve literally worked out everyday this month with only missing 2 days of working out. I drink at least 64oz of water daily and I’m trying to aim at doubling that. Not to mention, my eating habits are wayyyy better.

    I’m lost. I’ve gained more weight with exercising and eating healthy than I did with eating whatever. I’ll try to keep motivated so I won’t mess up closing my ring streak on my apple watch.

    Starting tomorrow, my plan is to drink smoothies, tea, and water while snacking on fruits and nuts for the next 3 days.

    …Or maybe I need to stop doing a “quick diet” because I see this dramatic weight loss then I try to workout and eat healthy and I gain it all
    back. 🤔 I just don’t know what else to do.
