I finally hit the stall

[pinkbunies 359]

So I thought if I kept exercising everyday and I kept active, ate right etc, I could avoid the stall. Nope.

I'm back up to an average of 12.5 miles a day walking/slow jog and I feel like I just cannot get enough to eat. I feel like I'm starving my body. I weighed this morning and it showed me actually gaining 2 lbs. LOL.

I'm not freaking out as I know I'm doing everything right and the weight will start to come off again soon.

Part of me wants to cut back on calories and then part of me also wants to try to increase caloric intake. I just want the weight to fly off again.

So Pinkbunnies....... you do know that muscle weighs more than fat by volume, right. If you are walking jogging 12.5 miles a day, you are BUILDING MUSCLE! That muscle is replacing a lot of the fat, hence you might not show an overall loss or even a gain. But does the tape measure say you are smaller? clothing looser? Heck do you feel better? I wish I could accomplish what you are doing, some days I can hardly walk at all due to old injuries. Stay positive and keep it up!

A pound of muscle weighs the same amount as a pound of fat. If you are exercising, it is possible you are gaining muscle. I found when I hit stalls on low calorie, high Protein, low carb diets (I haven't had the sleeve yet) upping my protein helped the numbers go down, a lot when I was exercising.

I bet you are losing inches, even though the scale says you gained.

my face is getting more and more slimmer. I can't fit into a size 36 pants anymore without wearing a belt.

People are starting to notice.
