I find it ironic that the scale weight had me at exactly what my average weight was for the week. When I take my weekly averages and subtract, I've actually lost close to 2 pounds. I really tried to keep the carbs limited last week and I have been consistent with exercise for the last 3 or 4 weeks now, so it has made a difference. Feels good to be gaining more muscle. I increased the weight again on most of my arms, shoulders and back exercises. I also increased the weight on my inclined ab crunches/pulses from 15 to 20 pounds. I felt that as much in my arms as I did my abs! I'm still laying it to my triceps, trying to get rid of the excess fat there. Even though I still have a little over 13 pounds to goal, I'm definitely feeling much more confident and loving the fact that I'm fitting back in to many of my favorite clothes. I had refused to get rid of some of them because I was determined to get back into them. Now, there were a lot of clothes that I did go ahead and donate, simply because they were so small, the likelihood of me getting back into them was pretty low. At my age, I don't need to be a size 4. I'll be happy with a 6 or 8, even tho sizes are so inconsistent these days. It really is more about how I feel and look rather than a size or number on the scale. I keep those numbers just as a goal or guideline, not a standard.

Your a proven winner! I have found as long as I have a caloric deficit I lose not worried about the carbs anymore.

I'm with you on the 'scale' thing. I have run a big calorie deficit every day this month and the scale has been up and down, really?? :) :)

I have to mix it up because of the diabetes/insulin resistance/hypoglycemia. Once I lose enough weight that I’m not diabetic, I’m back into hypoglycemia so I need to keep the sugar and carbs in control like I always have. 🤷🏻♀️ That’s been my life though. Since I was 9 years old. The only time it failed was when my thyroid was burning out due to an autoimmune so now that the meds are more or less substituting for that, LOL 🙆🏻♀️ a diet that is a mixture, but low processed food works great.

Wow, good for you !!! Your really kickin' it ..... Just be careful not to get too huge and loose your fine, womanly appearance. :) Your last pic, man o' man, was impressive musculature, your figure was spot on in my book. I can see you in a physique contest easily..... Not to be confused with those ginormous bodybuilding women. Really excited to see new pics of you with your progression. I agree, its all about health....Scale is not always the best way to gauge our progress. I for one get upset with myself when I work so hard and see so little change when stepping onto one. But we keep on going, why? Because we've seen it work with some others within this community. Thanks for your motivation. Its keeps me going ----Nice Work !!!

Thanks you guys! Wright, you're gonna give me a huge ego complex with that compliment! I know I'll never be as muscular as those female body builders, nor do I want to be. I'd like to get to the point where the muscle is noticeable without flexing because that will mean I have a very low body fat %. As far as the ups and downs on the scale, I see them every week and I know it's due to water and poo retention. I'm actually up 8 ounces from yesterday. That's why I write it down daily then do an average at the end of the week. I generally only record here weekly. As long as the overall trend is down, then I know what I'm doing is working.
