When Is A Stall Really Not A Stall?

I just went to my surgeon's office for a follow-up and was very pleasantly surprised! That neat little scale gizmo that he has that also calculates your BMI, water, fat and muscle ratio provided me with some great information. According to my scale I had only lost about 9 pounds since my last visit 2 months ago. The scale at the doctor's office agreed with my weight loss numbers but the doctor told me that I had actually lost 15 pounds of FAT, while gaining 6 additional pounds of muscle, even though my weight loss was 9 pounds. My point is this... while I thought I had hit a stall, my body just fooled me into thinking I had stalled while it kept whittling away at the bad stuff (you know, the "F" word...FAT!) So, take heart, you losers, we're going to make it yet! :rolleyes:

Thank you so much for sharing! That is encouraging news. I haven't been too pleased with the scale lately. I have an appt. with my NUT tomorrow. It would sure be neat if she had one of those thingamijiggas. :) I'm curious about what it would say about me. I know I'm adding muscle because I can see it in my legs. :tongue2:

You can buy scales for home use that are able to do that...I have one, they're about $30.

Where did u get yours?

I bought mine at a store called Bi-Mart, but they're only found in the northwest. I'm sure Target or Walmart would have it.
