Bragging on the hubby...he maintained two weigh-ins ago, and he lost 2 this week!
It has been a LONG series of weeks and months for him recently. He just hits these roadblocks, and with his horribly slow metabolism it's just HARD for him. I trust 100% that he's following the plan even when on work trips, but any of you who travel for work know that dining out for every meal for days on end makes it so difficult. Did the cook put 2 T of oil in the dish, or 1/4 cup? Just how much salt is in there? etc
But he really decided to buckle down on his last work trip. On the WW community area they were talking about "tracking like it's Week 1" and I mentioned it to him and he really took to that. Tracking, being sure of things, and, most importantly, making time for exercise. He says it was the exercise this last couple weeks and it may very well be!
In his case it could also be that the weights he started a couple months ago had a negative impact on the scale, because he is a naturally muscular guy who can bulk up fast AND he tends to lift heavy...the combo could mean muscles holding onto water as part of the healing process AND actually gaining muscle. It would make sense, since he has lost visible inches over the last few months...just not much weight loss on the scale at all. So losing some fat while gaining muscle...a pound of fat has more mass than a pound of muscle...put it together and it could be the answer to his recent misery on the scale but needing a smaller size of pants.
I've hoped for it before, but here's hoping that this is the big turnaround for him!
Thanks for letting me share.
