another week of no movement on the scale. I'm no longer bothered by it, because my arms are getting fucking shredded just by carrying a pair of 5lb weights during my cardio routine.
I do a 40-minute cardio walk with no weights, then another 20-minute walk *with the weights. five times a week. Usually if weather is good on Saturday, I take a walk around the neighborhood for an hour to round out the week.
I'm making progress in a myriad of other ways, so I'll stay here as long as it takes.
@da_667 - Indeed! Especially as you build
muscle, you may even start gaining weight.
As you are actively working out, are you using other methods of measurement? Body fat calipers, tape measures, etc?
@tinker I'm really not. I don't really have a measure of health to compare against other than, noticing changes in my body. My double chin isn't as pronounced, as in I have to look down further before I notice it, My old clothes are starting to fit again, the doc just told me my blood pressure and kidney numbers are much better than earlier this year.
@da_667 - I mean, those are perfect benchmarks. The big thing to take to heart is that weight is just one measure, but it measures a lot more than just fat. Muscle weighs more than fat. So a plateau of weight may indicate fat loss and muscle gain, for example.
