Weighed myself this morning - why bother? Still at 240. Now, I've been very diligently exercising for about two months so I would have hoped to see some loss. But what I do know: I have certainly lost some flab around my middle and I am very pleased by that. I can only assume that I've been adding muscle, especially from rowing. But I wonder how much weight in fat I may have lost. Maybe five pounds? Can I have added that much muscle mass?
Does anybody have experience with those body-fat measureing scales? The seem like a gimmick to me but I really don't know.
Don't get discouraged. When I first began, I lost many lbs. and thought I was kicking butt. Then I started going up despite working harder and eating better. I was building muscle and the fat was going down. There will be phases of uncertainty and the body will want to relax and gain fat again. I hit several walls but I pushed forward and my body fat us definitely down. Adding casein protein has helped feed my body and decreased my food cravings. Good luck.
