BUT I feel so much better, energized even and have lost just as steadily as before. I've even wondered if I should eat MORE because of it! And keep in mind that your body will be building muscle so as the scale stays steady it doesn't mean you aren't losing fat, just "exchanging" it' for muscle so to speak. Check out Jamie's transformation The NROL4W -- It's Vomitastic! She has inspired me to no end. The scale shows a gain but especially in those side view pictures, her body has completely changed. She has CLEARLY lost soo many inches and built muscle in the best areas. Trust the plan! I have been reading logs lately and seeing picture after picture of women with whom the scale says one thing and the pictures blow my mind! It helps me keep pushing forward. I have a lot more weight than you to lose and if it weren't for seeing these amazing results from the ladies who have been at it for a while, I might have lost my resolve. But I'm more than happy to trade my flabby body for a lean mean one even if the scale tries to lie to me.
I honestly had a hard hard time eating so much at first. Mentally it was a big deal for me. But now I feel fantastic and can clearly feel my workouts lacking on days I don't eat quite enough. Our bodies need food to be able to work so hard. You'll do great! |
I am totally blown away! I am so honored to be considered anyone's inspiration. I wish you all lots of energy, physical and mental strength, and the desire to continue on this journey that we've started.
Rock on, Girls! Plan your work and work the plan! You CAN do it, you just have to trust your strong body and give it what it needs (FOOD and REST)!
Thanks for making my evening!
