Help!!! Need and answer before I go nuts

7707mutt Posts: 7,686 Joined: 2002/06/18	2003/03/20, 09:30 AM Ok went to the doctor for a sinus infection. got weighed of course. They got 314 wich is where I have been for over a year....or so I thought. As of 11-02 I was 300 so since then I have added 14 lbs somewhere. Here is the deal, I have lost like 5-6 inches from the waist and the clothes feel looser and they are my belt can be tightened to the third hole something I have never been able to do. So the question is is that 14 lbs muscle or am I crazy? help!!!!!! ---------------------------- IF YOU CAN STILL ITCH YOUR NOSE AFTER ARM DAY, GO DO ANOTHER SET!!!

neiltilley Posts: 325 Joined: 2003/03/09	2003/03/22, 04:58 PM LITTLE FACT HERE- each inch lost on the waist generally equates to 4 pounds of fat lost.... so keep measuring, not so much weighing. there must be an equation here for the difference of weight then to weight now(14 pounds gained)//inches lost(6'' times 4 pound) = 24 pounds fat lost by the inch , so 14 pounds heavier is a muscle gain of 24 and 14 = 38 pounds muscle. your shape change also proves it. keep it up.

It is just going to eat away at the fat. I propose a deadline for a new picture w/ the old one still up. How about another 4 months and we get to see the new slim Mutt? I would think that everyone agrees with me on this one. -------------- Lisa Just laugh about it....

I too experienced a great mass increase in a short period of time (according to my body composition measurements) and felt it was kind of incredible.. but as long as your waIST GETS SMALLER AND YOU FEEL LEANER, YOU MUST BE ADDING MUSCLE. lUCKY YOU!

7707mutt Posts: 7,686 Joined: 2002/06/18	2003/03/25, 02:26 PM LOL I will post another pic in 6 months that is my due date...I plan to have lost 60 lbs by then ( or as close as I can get to that). that will give me a weight of 240 And I hope a lbm of 220. -------------- IF YOU CAN STILL ITCH YOUR NOSE AFTER ARM DAY, GO DO ANOTHER SET!!!

7707mutt Posts: 7,686 Joined: 2002/06/18	2003/03/25, 02:32 PM I hope so I need to gt rid of the waist and I will be happy. As for the pics, I predict that my arms will indeed be larger and the shoulder trap area will make those that want one drool(ok enough braggin). Stay tuned!!!!!!!! -------------- IF YOU CAN STILL ITCH YOUR NOSE AFTER ARM DAY, GO DO ANOTHER SET!!!
7707mutt Posts: 7,686 Joined: 2002/06/18	2003/03/25, 02:36 PM LOL thanks I hope so. I can say this, I will have made a huge improvement if the diet and cardio goes well. Also there is a chance that soon all I will be able to do is at home workouts again as my memeber ship is running out and out money is short....but I will prevail!!
