Tips for losing weight

[TheDragoon]

If you lose inches, but gain a bit of weight, that means is that you are replacing fat with lean body mass, which is OK. I had gotten to 154, and with roughly the same workout plan and diet was starting to gain weight and lost the last inch from my waist. My fitness nutcase buddy explained to me what went into that when I discussed my puzzlement to him over that development.

This is the sort of thing that happened to me my freshman and sophomore years of college. My freshman year I started running and working out a lot and dropped from 235 pounds down to 225 pounds. My 2nd year I kept up roughly the same regimine (though with slightly more weight lifting) and then rose up to 240 pounds, yet I was in significantly better shape than my freshman year!

I think those two years really showed me that how much you weigh often has little to do with what kind of shape that you're in.

This sort of thing was rehashed last year, too, when I dislocated my arm and couldn't work out for about 2 months. Over that period of time where I wasn't working out I actually LOST weight. :P
