Eden6's Journal, 02 February 2014

I've figured out that walking/running is key to my weight loss. I could cut all the calories I want, but I always/only see the scale drop after I walk or run 2-3 miles the day before. I don't lose pounds after days where I do calisthenics or weight-lifting, which is fine. Hopefully, that means I'm gaining muscle mass.

My common-sense goal is to gain muscle mass while losing fat mass, which means that sometimes the scale won't move...But my emotional brain still feels disappointment and frustration when my weight doesn't drop. I really wish the number on the scale didn't matter so much to me, but it does. I need to work on that.
161.2 lb Lost so far: 2.8 lb.    Still to go: 19.2 lb.    Diet followed reasonably well.

What you are talking about is another reason I feel like you should get some calipers. You can't measure muscle mass gained with a scale. I agree that is a wonderful plan you have and with it you will succeed. ;) Also scoobysworkshop has a spreadsheet with all the math out in where you insert you body fat changes over a month or more and you will have a good idea of your progress being made and so on.
