kwood1125's Journal, 18 April 2014

I think I am at my first plateau. As I have added more exercise to my routine, and continue watching what I eat, I can't help but feel more than a little discouraged. I know that bodies need to adjust, and I also know that as I exercise more, my muscle mass will increase as fat mass decreases, and that muscle is heavier than fat. I know it is only temporary, but I am still frustrated.

Hi Kwood! I know what you mean! I recently experienced this as well. You'll get through that phase in no time. Just focus on your goals and don't give up! =)

Actually, when you add more exercise, your muscles retain water to help them heal. This can show on the scale as a temporary gain, smaller loss than usual or no loss. Google "why the scale lies" for insight.
