  • I'd say yes, it is normal. Instead of measuring your progress with the scale, why not try tracking cm's lost instead of kilos ? That's the way I track my own progress. The weight will begin to come off on its own, but you will tend to gain a little muscle mass the more strength training you do. I'm not a fitness expert,…

  • Good point ! I will definitely keep all of that in mind as we journey on. Until then, I keep doing my workouts and try to eat right, and maybe when she sees that goals can be met, it will inspire her. Thanks again !

  • You're 10000% right. I have probably been through every "type" of dealing with the whole situation. I tried ignoring it and not saying anything, then I found she would lie and hide cigars from me whether I said anything about it or not, so I would break them up or throw them away.

  • And I'm assuming that because I'm adding so much more cardio and strength training to my daily regimen, despite eating lower calorie meals, I'm not going to see great weight LOSS because I'm gaining back muscle weight, right ? That's what they taught me in the Army...so long as you're losing FAT, you're on track ? I'm…

  • Hello, hello to you all ! I consider myself an honorary Aussie (American expat) from Sydney (from Bankstown to Campbelltown, then I moved into the CBD-King Street--the over to Surry Hills) for quite a long time after I left the military. Love and miss Oz dearly, I must say. Visited all sorts of brilliant sights and suburbs…
