Losing Weight



Losing weight is a misnomer. If you are exercising and trying to lose excess blubber, fat, flab... you will be replacing the BFF ( and this is not Best Friend Forever, by any means!) with muscle. Muscle is heavier than BFF so you may reach a point where you are, oh, say 192 lbs - don't know why I use that figure... I do not weight that much, certainly. And you stay at 192 for oh, a week, let's say; or even two weeks, and you are hump-busting and you can't figure out why you aren't losing weight.
Of course, you're losing flab and replacing it with good old striated muscle.

So the bathroom scale may be very misleading. I have found the best accessory to the scale is the pair of pants that sort of tightened up after New Year's, or the belt that forced you to go out a notch. The tight belt doesn't lie.
