My diet has been going sucessfully so far but the one thing it's lacking is an exercise regime. I know I need to get that side of it sorted out as I'm not just doing this to lose weight but to boost my health in general.
I'm just a bit wary of ending up putting on weight and this is what keeps putting me off. I'm not lazy and actually really enjoy exercise when I get into it. It's just that I know the muscles build up more and that can cause weight gain. And I know people who start going to the gym etc can find they're dieting and losing nothing .
I KNOW it's silly because it doesn't show in the same way fat gain does. It's more a psychological thing though. If I see the scales creeping up I don't know how that's going to affect my inspiration to stick to the diet.
It's just being going really well and I don't want to wreck it. So was wondering if anyone had any experience of starting an exercise regime after starting a diet. So could give me an idea of what kind of an impact it had on the scales, good or bad. If it was bad did you just not care because you were so happy with the impact it was having on your measurements, bodyshape etc.
Ok think I'm rambling now, I guess I'm just looking for a bit of reassurance as I'm actually looking forward to getting fitter and don't want any more excuses.
