I have been on MFP for 2 1/2 years and have made amazing progress. But in June of last year while running a marathon I had a major knee injury and it stopped me from running. While healing I decided to try weight lifting. The day I ran the marathon I was my smallest weight of 175 I am 5'8 so i was feeling pretty good. Over the next 8 months I have gained back 19 YES I said 19 of these 77 pounds I lost.
But when I was 175 i have 39% body fat so the other day I decided to see what my body fat was 8 months later at 194 pounds and holy heck I have a body fat percentage of 25.2%!!!!!!! This explains why I havent needed to buy new clothes and why they have been feeling snugger in only certain areas. for the first almost 2 years of my journey i never touched a weight and now i am not afraid of the weight room or lifting heavy! And now that I am able to run again I will not be giving up the weight training and I am hoping these pounds will just melt off!!!!!
So ladies don't be afraid to lift HEAVY!

I've only been lifting again for 2 months, and the scale hasn't budged, but my percentage went from 37.8 to 33 percent. I will be cheering when it finally goes under 30 again.
