I'm freaking at a plateau............

[Cindy C 150]

Then why suggest the scale isn't moving because she's gaining muscle? Lord.

Because she hasn't been exercising a day or a week. She's been doing it for months. Strength training will indeed build muscle mass over time. If you knew as much about the way the human body works as you think you do, I doubt that you would have reached the point of needing WLS at such a young age.

I don't worry about the scale ! In fact I don't even own one ! !

I get weighed at the Dr. Office, and with a very Happy face, I wright that in my purse calendar.

Because I can keep track of how I am doing.

My surgeon, and Dietitian explained that when you stop losing weight, you will lose inches. When you stop losing inches, the body will jump back in, and start losing weight.

Were in this for the long haul.

Don't let it get you down, Because you will always have other challenges that will come your way.

Plateaus. to tight, need a fill bad, etc.. Take it easy, and focus on what you think you need to do.

Eventually it will kick in.

Lol @ attempting to insult me for having WLS at such a young age. I admit to myself that I didn't need it and regret it fully. I wanted the easy way out and took it I'd lose my band tomorrow if I could.

In any case, the OP has NOT gained ANY type of muscle mass. Despite my age and your silly insult, the MALE body, in an IDEAL state, meaning Protein synthesis without the use of any type of steroids, can build roughly .2lbs of muscle a MONTH. So please tell me how the OP has packed on so much muscle, in a few months time period, as a female?

Don't let my age fool you nor my foolish decision to be banded fool you either. You can't throw out the oh you're building muscle mass, hence the scale increase, when it's not the case, nor is it rarely the case in these situations. You don't build muscle mass with pretty pink dumbbells.
