  • It's fun way to kick my own butt. It isn't a magic workout. I currently have the goals to lose fat, at least maintain LBM, increase my cardio, and work capacity. Kettlebells seem to fit right into that. Current routine is: KB Deadlift x 10 Pushup x 10 Inverted row x 10 KB Upright Row x 10 Pushup x 10 KB Swing x 10 Pushup x…

  • I weigh myself fairly often but I only log my weight and tape measure on the first of the month to see the real trend. I was 6 pounds heavier Monday than I was on Sunday. Today I was 2 pounds lighter than yesterday. It just varies. Also some of the weight you've lost could be from depleted glycogen levels through calorie…

  • I guess it is a question of what motivates you, how disciplined you are, your goals, and how comfortable you feel that you'll know how to maintain once you achieve your goal. In the past I've been an all in, full speed ahead kind of person but I've always been terrible at knowing how to maintain it. What intensity of…

  • Certainly "ideal weight", BMI, are averages. Is your composition relatively average? I am 6' tall and according to averages I should weight somewhere between 165-180 pounds. The problem with going by averages in this case is that I currently have a lean body mass somewhere between 200 and 205 pounds. So I am setting my…

  • I've been just handling my business at home. Kettlebells, chin up bar, straps, rings, treadmill, rowing machine, and mats to keep the sweat off the carpet are doing me well enough atm. At some point I'll feel the need to join a club somewhere in the Castleton, Fishers area. I am looking forward to returning to Climb Time…

  • Remind yourself why you are doing this. If your old reasons aren't inspiring you any longer, try to come up with some new ones. Remind yourself of prior victories and certainly try not to put too much weight on the set backs. Perhaps arrange your eating schedule to where you have a snack at the end of the workday that…

  • No medical issues yet. *knocks on wood* Just starting to feel the wear and tear of carrying extra weight.
    in WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO LOSE WEIGHT??? Comment by Mercambus January 2013
  • Perfectly normal in my experience. It is probably water weight as others have stated. If you are just beginning to exercise it can lead to water weight loss or if you just recently started to really focus on diet changes, your sodium intake may be lower which lowers water retention. It will probably slow down soon. From…
