Weighed myself today and I was up 1/5 of a pound.  Cried.  Turns out I’m not down any.  Still cried.
 
MONTH END REPORT:
Weight: -12.2 pounds
Chest: -2 inches (*cries*)
Waist: -1 1/2 inches
Wrist: -1/4 inch
Forearm: -1/4 inch
Ankle: -1 inch (WTF?)
Mid calf: - 1 inch
Mid thigh: +1/2 inch (*cries*)
BMI (approx): -1 point

Not NEARLY as impressive as I would have liked, but I am trying to remember that muscle weighs more than fat. I had a LOT of fat that has been replaced by muscle - I can flex my arms and it's not just fat! I can feel my abs (under the fat) when I flex them.

Also - The BMI Calculator just goes by the measurements...It doesn't take the muscle into account so it's kind of faulty for a fat person.

Overall, I'm really happy...I really am. I think I'm doing it RIGHT this time and building muscle to replace the fat and that's why I'm not losing as much. Just keeping in mind how my breathing is going - I can TELL the difference - And that's DAMN good.

Still can't tell the difference in my clothes and people that see me everyday might not be able to tell, but I bet my parents will be able to tell when I see them next. :)
