Frustrated and happy at the same time

Okay... so i've been working out and dieting since the new year... I think i've done pretty good so far.. But since i thought i gained like 15 pounds i hadnt weighed myself because i was terrified

So the past couple of days my mom, dad, and today my sister said that i've lost weight.. so i did my workouts for an hour and a half and before i got in the shower i decided to weigh myself.. expecting to see that i weighed like 150(meaning i gained 13 pounds) i see the scale at 140!!!

Sooo long story short.. i am happy that its only 140 and not 150.. but at the same time its frustrating because i feel like i gained much more weight than that and clothes dont fit the same. How is that possible for only 3 pounds???

you lose weight and gained muscle... always remember that and try not to get discouraged.. when i was at my skinniest and in the best shape of my life i weighed more then i do now.

it could be lean weight, muscle mass...you build muscle when you exercise..that happens to me sometimes too!

Yeah, dont look at the scale...buy yourself a tape measure thing and measure inches. One of my BM's is 5'6'' a size 4/6 and weight 150. I would have NEVER thought it because she looks really skinny but she goes to the gym everyday and has a ton of muscle. If you get rid of the inches, thats what counts.

Re: Frustrated and happy at the same time

Thats true.. i know i am nowhere near at 'tight' as I was when i was going to the gym regularly.. i'm going to keep at it.. once i really get going i honestly become addicted to working out.. thats how i was when i was really losing weight.. so my time will be between LIW/Working out and sleep
