JAKE H got a reaction from KidaandRoux in This is when the scale can be dangerous!
The picture on the left came up on my memories from a year ago. I was 234 in that picture. The picture on the right is from today and im 235. I knew i wanted to build muscle, but the the thought of building muscle and watching the scale go up scared the hell out of me. But this is why pictures are important for us. I would much rather look like the 235 i am now, rather then the 234 i was a year ago. I know for me, i was so obsessed with the number on the scale, that i was starting to drive myself insane. Luckily i have an amazing nutritionist and life coach, who made me give up the scale and just take pictures once a week and trust her. I reluctantly did just that, and i couldnt be happier. YES the number on the scale is higher then it use to be. My low was 208 and ive now been between 225-235 for 4 months now. My waist is now smaller at 235 then it was at 208. My waist fits in a 32 size jean. Muscle really does weigh more. I just wanted to post this because i know i am not a lone. The scale can be scary, but it doesnt have to be. Building a healthy relationship with food and the scale have been difficult, but rewarding. Slowly but surely.

JAKE H reacted to GreenTealael in Food Before and After Photos
Cinnamon Spice Almost Keto pancake
2 tbsps coconut flour, 2 tbsps wheat flour, 2 tbsps Water, 1 tbsp milk, 1 egg, 1 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp sugar substitute, dash of salt and spices.
Bigger than it looks so I ate ~1/5 and gave the rest away.
I could not find a decent recipe builder to accurately give me cals for this so I'm estimating 300 cals.
Rant: I officially hate coconut flour. It's too hard to work with. I have wasted so much on failed attempts. I usually have almond flour which is a lot more forgiving, but I ran out.

So looking forward to when I will start some weight training (I am one of those who is going to wait until I am mostly to goal -- when I am actually putting more food in my body to sustain the extra energy output). I don't care if I gain a few pounds from it. Those pounds will take up less space I always like the visual of a pound of feathers takes up a LOT more space than a pound of Iron.< br />
Looking great, man!
