I finally broke my 5 month long stall! Woohoo!!!

zeraspride · 10-03-2005, 11:10 AM

I just had to share with you all! Sunday was official weighin day and I'm down 3.5 pounds! Woohoo!!! The scale hadn't moved down since May 1 for me. It had even creeped up a couple of pounds and I was getting scared. I knew I needed to do something to get it moving again and that's when I started Body for Life for Women. I weighed in at 174.5 pounds which is my lowest adult weight ever!

I'm also even happier about my visit to the gym for my fitness consultation. For the first time I had my body fat analyzed. Normal range is 22-28% for women and I was just tickled to find out I'm at 32% body fat. I'm a whopping 120 pounds of lean muscle mass. I knew I was muscular but I didn't know how much. I've got about 55 pounds of body fat so only 4% more to lose to be in the high normal range and then I'm done. My trainer told me that I can disregard the charts telling me I should be 125 pounds. It just wouldn't look healthy on my frame and believe me ladies I had no intention of shooing for such a low body weight anyway!

I just wanted to share because you all have been such a big part of my journey. If you are just starting on the Beach, this is a great place to be. You will reach your goals, even if you have a lot of weight to lose, it can be done!!!

Good to see you too! Sorry that I'm not sticking to SB anymore...just exercising away with BFL, and sticking to induction levels for now. I hope to return someday!!

teehee, like your avatar!! actually, since the beginning of the LCBiggest Loser challenge, I've only been weighing the 1x a week for the "official" weigh-in. It seems like it's something to look forward to, and just another thing during the week I don't have to worry about anymore. I hope i can keep it up!! (not looking at the scale every day). It also seems to make the week fly by faster!
