when i went to the doc'd yesterday (ear infection) i weighed 5 pounds less. i'm glad to loose 5 rather than gain it. i'm glad to see the scale move down at all!! but after being able to fit back into all those smaller clothes this week, i really thought I was down much more.

i have been exercizing 5 days a week, 1 hour per day... my restriction is good ( 3 fills, 10.75 cc's total)...my eatting has been very good...

i guess i've lost inches and fat but gained muscle....we all know "muscle takes up less room than fat" (it doesnt actually weigh less) i found a good explanation & anology on another site:

"Muscle is more dense than fat, thus it takes up less space than an equal amount of fat.

A good analogy is comparing a pound of lead(muscle) to a pound of feathers (fat). The pound of lead would be a small brick and the pound of feathers would be equal to a pillow or two. "

well, that would certainly explain why my clothes fit better!! but i just want that scale to DROP!!!! :thumbup:

You were down 5lbs and not overly excited? You should be jumping for joy. 5lbs is terrific. Every ounce you lose is a triumph - 5lbs is amazingly wonderful. Keep up the good work.

I am happpy about the 5!! trust me! i guess the mind is just a powerful tool b/c i had convinced myself that b/c i could fit into all those clothes, I had lost like "oooodles" of pounds! LOL!

the anology w/the pillow and the brick really helped me to put things into perspective and understand :)

then i realized that its only been like 2 weeks since i last weighed**...for some reason i thought it was a month?!! all i'm supossed to loose is 2 pounds a week---->> so i'm doing GREAT!!

** I was confused about the time frame b/c i lost my BlackBerry and EVERYTHING including dates, times, amounts, etc was logged into that calendar!! so i really lost track of time and events!!! :)

      Xbox And Exercise - Kickboxing

      By sharon232 · Posted

      I’ve used my Xbox for exercise games too and it can be pretty motivating, especially on days when I don’t want to leave the house. Kinect games really do make you move, and after a session with kickboxing or dancing, I always feel like I’ve actually gotten a solid workout. The controller-free setup feels way more natural for workouts than anything I tried on the Wii. Zumba is fun but definitely takes a little time to get the moves right. Lately, when I’m not working out, I spend time trading CS2 skins and finding new guides on this link. There’s a lot of interesting tips if you’re into games outside of fitness too.
