First of all, thank you guys so much for all the support and kind words on my last post. Your comments put a lot of things into perspective and really got me motivated to continue strong on this journey.
Starting weight: 176.4 lbs.
Last week weight: 130.2
Current weight: 128.4
Current loss: -1.8
TOTAL LOSS: -48.0
TOTAL LOSS: -48.0
Today's weight almost puts me back at my lowest March weigh-in two weeks ago, and even though I was hoping to be lower than that, I'm totally happy with it. Lots of food was consumed this past weekend during Easter so I was expecting the weight to be about the same as last week... but that's not the case. =)
Moving on to my stats. I had measurments done with Trainer L at the gym yesterday and here are the results:
One month difference.
So why the exclamation mark in the post title? Because according to the body fat %, I GAINED some muscle!
130.0 lbs. x 31.2% body fat = 40.56 lbs. of fat and 89.44 lbs. of lean mass
128.4 lbs. x 29.8% body fat = 38.26 lbs. of fat and 90.14 lbs. of lean mass
Heck, it's only 0.7 lbs. but it's still 0.7 lbs.
All the other times I've been measured (roughly every month by Trainer L for the past two years!) the pounds of fat and lean mass decrease together so this is the first time EVER I've shown a muscle gain (thank you, LiveFit program)!!!
Huge, huge, huge NSV!
(And it came at the perfect time after my pity post.)

I swear that all of my extra muscle adds like 10lbs to me. But I seem to forget that when I'm being down on myself :(
Keep it up!
what a great loss!!! that's a big percentage. and yes! what a great nsv.
I hope you are doing a happy dance. Congrats!
Fantastic! Just found your flog from And She Ran. Congrats on the muscle gain!
Go Annie! Those are some impressive numbers! Especially the lean mass. Congratulations :)
Awesome!! Congrats on your gain!! <--- first time I have ever said that!!
Alright, Annie!!!!! Cyber-High-Five!
(I wish I knew how to post the Snoopy Happy Dance into your comments section.)
That is awesome news! Yay on the muscle gain - that is more awesome!
NEver minimize a loss. You're already pretty slim at your weight, so losing that much, to my mind, is really great.
I admire how you really work at this. I really do!
