I am amazed, Isn't it amazing how we can eat and do sooo increadibly well. Well, as of lately I was beginning to question if what I was doing was right. See I ahve been gaining weight and this really Bothered me as many of you can understand which reminds me I have to change my siggie. HMMMM. Well, I was down to 178lbs and over the past month I have been gaining weight working out very hard and seeing the scale go up is non the less extremely frusturating. Well, I decided before I got really frusturated I would go to the Wellness center and see what the heck was up, was this weight gain Fat weight. Well, I just about fell over when my BF% and my LBM% came back. From 1 month ago I put on 4 pounds Of Lean Body mass to but me at 134 pounds I was like NOOOO WAY. My bf% went down over 1% to 27.35% I went up 12 pounds people and I lost bodyfat. Can I explain it nope not really all I know is ATKINS is amazing. Not only did I gain weight I actually lost Body fat and My measurements went down gaining weight. SO before you become frusturated thinking I am just gaining weight OMG my weight went up. Look at the whole picture you may be losing body fat and gaining Lean Body mass so don't freak out with increases in the scale take your measurements every week and Just take in the entire show.

I am glad I didn't totally freak out and WOW am I ever impressed with myself NOW WOOOHOOO ME!!!

It just goes to show that Atkins and exercise combine to make a FAT-loss 'diet' if done correctly.

As someone else said here recently (sorry, can't remember who it was) - I don't really care what my weight is if I can fit into skinnier clothes and look good!!

Congratulations on morphing your body Sarah!!
