As of yesterday, I weigh 200 pounds! That is officially twenty pounds that I have lost. While I am focusing on fat loss, I am also focusing on building muscle. Since muscle is more dense than fat, (if this fact surprised you read more here) the scale takes a while to move for me. That said, since I started out with a higher body fat percentage, I will see a change in weight. I do not think I would really pay attention to the number on the scale if I was not considered obese.
So this is your reminder to focus on how you feel and how strong you are instead of how light or heavy you are. One of the reasons I love weight training is because no matter what I look like or weigh, I am happy with how much weight my body can move. Personally, I am just using the scale to keep track of fat loss progress. I cannot wait for the day I can request “obesity” to be taken off of my list of health issues. Only a few more pounds to go!
