Are you kidding me?

Low Fat Healthy Boy Diet: Two weeks so far of nothing but skinless chicken or turkey, lots and lots of veggies, and fruit. No chick-fil-a, no junk etc... Started two weeks ago weighing 205, this morning weighed 205. Been working out like crazy and eating about 1500 calories a day. Nothing...

you are probably gaining muscle. if you are eating well and "working out like crazy" then it is a good thing that your weight is staying the same... it means you are building muscle. muscle tissue is about 20% more dense than fat. muscle also has memory. you quickly rebuild muscle that was lost due to reduced physical activity which adds weight fast too.

This crap is driving me NUTS!

patience + consistency = results.

be patient.

i gained about 25 pounds of fat in the last 18 months. i have really gotten very serious about my diet (how i eat) and about lifting weights and doing cardio. its frustrating if you are checking the scale everyday. the day you started lifting... you made the scale irrelevent as a measurement of anything.

I am working very hard now. i measure everything out, plan my meals, have a very intense cardio regimine and i even pay a personal trainer to push me harder than i would normally push myself and to help me go farther in terms of actual muscle fatigue.

i started taking photos of myself every week. i want to post them all when i am finished. its pretty funny... you get really annoyed because you dont see the difference when you look at yourself. but when you look at photos, you really see the difference.

i will post all of them in Aug.
