BW is counted as lean and not scale wise, right?

Huh?

DG thats what I said. I don't use w8 while working my obliques.

When someone asks (on IM, really) what is your body weight, is it just Lean Body weight they are talking about, or body weight from a regular scale ?

BW means were looking for your body weight from a regular scale.

 

[Julie7Ulie]

OK then because it went up from 144 to 148 since last Tuesday.. I dont feel bloated.. still feel lighter. Think it could be water? Eating later at night?

My clothes still fit nicely. Scales confuse me.

 

[Jodi]

Mirror, pants, how you feel. Go by that not the scale.

Its about body composition. You have really increased your workouts the past 2 weeks so you could very well be putting on muscle. Remember, muscle ways more than fat. Thats why I use skin folds to track and how I feel.

Im having ISSUES with a miniature Hershey's Krackel.

Its staring at me. I told it to get out of my face.

Its still there.

 

[Jodi]

STAY AWAY FROM IT YOUR DOING SOOOOO GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Julie7Ulie]

OMG! I just read DP's thread on those peanut butter chocolate snacks of evil while the miniature is still there.

Im going to CRY!

Say something gross about chocolate please.

 

[Julie7Ulie]

I threw it out.

I couldnt watch someone else eat it.

Done.

 

[Jodi]

I'm proud of ya!

How long did you stare at it for

 

[Julie7Ulie]

gee thanks.

Ive been staring at it since 12:30p. Its freakin 3:30p now. I was going to flip.

 

[Jodi]

I would have chucked it across the room long time before now.

 

[Julie7Ulie]

Not funny

OK Jodster.......................1 pound of fat and one pound of muscle still weighs one pound!! It's the amount of room each takes up!! Don't beat me!!

 

[Julie7Ulie]

Im fine with body comp.. getting to where I need to be really fast

Im just gonna feel funny later if Im a size 4 weighing 150 pounds.

Exactly thats why someone can stay the same w8 during a cut but be 2 sizes smaller than when they started.

Thats why I said muscle weighs more than fat because more than a pound of muscle will fit in the same space that the pound of fat took, although I don't know how much but I know its more than a pound.

Are all full fat dressings ok as a fat source?

I've been avoiding them, but people are eatin em. (Ceasar dressing perhaps? )

 

[Jodi]

Heres the dressing we use:

Newmans Own Ceasar - 2nd Fav
Newmans Own Balsamic Vinegrette
Newmans Own Olive Oil & Vinegar
Drew's Dressing - as far as I know all of these are good - These are my favorite

 

[Julie7Ulie]

WOO HOOO!

:bounce: made MY day.

 

[Jodi]

Drew's makes a Ceasar I want to try but they make a Garlic Peppercorn thats like a creamy dressing. I have yet to find one I like better.

[Jodi]

I like your new workouts but may I suggest something? You should work your larger muscle groups before your smaller ones. Use your initial energy on the large groups (like back).

 

[Julie7Ulie]

That explains it I was SO tired after all the tri stuff, I was dying doing back.

Forget it. Im never stepping on a scale again. I tried it out for shmits and giggles and am back to 144.

I scheduled a body fat measurement appointment next Thurs..
We'll see..

 

[Jodi]

I told you!

 

[Julie7Ulie]

How fast is L-Glutamine supposed to ease my butt soreness?

Its not working. I took one before dinner last night, and one this morning.

I hate HATE lunges.
