Weight Loss War Update...poo

So I have some bad news--and good news. Bad news first:




I gained 5 pounds on my trip--it appears.

The good news is what that weight represents--it really only represents about 2 pounds of fat--which isn't good--but 3 pounds of muscle! How is this possible?

When I first started losing weight, I had quite a bit of muscle mass due to all the weight I had to carry around. So by losing the fat, I also lost some muscle mass. After I lost a lot of the weight, I was able to engage in more physical activities, including an intense workout program: P90X. When I was fat, I could barely get out of bed, let alone do any crunches etc. This has resulted in the apparent gain in muscle mass that I had lost the first few months of losing weight. I'm bummed about the two pounds, but with the muscle gains, I should burn that off pretty easily...

Weight 164
Chest 37
Waist 31
Hips 39
Est. Lean Body Weight 120.49
Est. Body Fat Weight 43.51
Est. Body Fat % 26.53

I'm not gonna let this get me down, folks! I'm gonna really push it this week--I don't wanna let you guys down! But I'll be honest, I'm really doing this for a pair of fabulous boots my father promised to buy me:


I'm gonna 'kick' butt this week!
