Thanks dude. Will try this… I'm going to try and cut down on oil tho. But that will likely affect crispness

I think I just died on the hill outside my house…. 1 hour bike (around 12-17 mi) then 80 min aerobic dance class. (She had to do all quad stuff on the weights today). My legs are jelly man. And now I've got to weed/dig the garden. I'm never going to make it. LOL. So I'll go slow.
Question: I've only been weight training for the past 3 weeks (about 3-5 X a week) in addition to still running, dance etc. Why has the scale gone UP 5 pounds? Could I have built muscle that fast? Five pounds worth? (I'm 5' 8" and weigh 120, well now 125) would that be a proper ratio of muscle gain? I don't wanna get all girly but I don't SEE any difference (definition or muslce wise) so why's the scale hating on me? (not eating any more cals than normal… I track that too)

Ha! around there yes, but the boob thing has been going on for a month! The only thing I've changed is my work out…. I know muscle weighs more than fat, but boobs aren't muscle. What's with the 5 pounds??? (It ain't lb jugs either. No matter how hard I wish THAT were true.)
You think I've gained 5 pounds of muscle that fast? i'm skeptical.
no i think youre most liekly retaining water or other storage along with a bit of muscle gain but thats just opinion..

I need to get on the wagon. Not that I'm really a fat bastard at 6'1" and 160, but damn, years of bad diet and meds and drinking too much beer has left me with a gut. I look like I'm in the early stages of pregnancy, it's sad.

Scales can be misleading, especially considering the acceleration due to gravity is geographically dependent.
The better way to judge what your body is doing is to submerge yourself in a bath tub of water, so the level is to the brim.
Then get out, and calculate the volume of air that remains.

Hiked to the top of mountain yesterday. 11 miles round trip. 4,167 feet. So that's not even a mile, but MAN most of it was almost straight up! I didn't think I'd make it. Sooo Steep at the end! made though. Today..meh. NOt sore, but not sure if I should rest or what. Feel great. Lotsa energy. Do you continue to exercise after that or rest?

No no...
get in the tub, then top up the water.
Then you get out, and measure the volume of "air" leftover. It's a somewhat laborious method, but if you want to know what the scale is really telling you, then you need volumetric information, too.

I recently saw a thread where someone calculated the specific density of a ball of hash.
I love that shit.

does anyone on here attend Weight Watchers, i know it is world wide so im curious, i have tried thousands of diets but weight watchers is always where i end up going back to, i have been going for 3 months now, and i have gone down about 12 pounds, its hard especially because when i drink i just eat without measuring and tracking my food, but other days im great about it, so its a long battle, but i will keep working at it
