Okay. So I started. I did really well.
Started at 233 lbs on January 11th.
Weighed in January 16th - 226.6.
THEN I went to a family dinner and overate really bad food. Fine, I though. Not a worry. I can get rid of it. It's just a blip.
Since then I started exercise. At least one hour, at least 6 days a week. And I feel like I can feel myself getting a bit smaller... waist moving in, a little from the chin... clothes a little loser. Movement a little easier. That kind of thing.
But the scales are going UP!!
Now, I am doing a lot of things that work the thighs, and putting some resistance work in there as well with bands, so i know I will be building muscle where previously there would have been literally nothing... but I've been gaining again for the last little while, and now I'm back up to 228.4 lbs.
WHY?! I'm eating well... vegetable and kidney bean stew for dinner most days, lean meat or fish salad for lunch, fruit for breakfast and snacks, drinking lots of water and green tea... I'm hardly ever going over 1500 calories a day and never below 1200...
HELP! I feel like it's all pointless.
