I usually get all of my answers out of them. However I have a problem I can't find a similar question to. Since I first started my program I have gained almost 11 pounds, I have started eating alot better than I have in years. My diet isn't perfect yet but it has gotten healthier. I recently measured myself because I noticed my pants are alot looser, however everywhere but my waist has gained!!! I don't know what the heck is going on, I haven't lost weight on the scale yet and now the inches are going up, I just don't know what is going on. Can someone please help!!!:)

I've been working out with weights steadily for 1.5 yrs and although my body has changed dramatically, the scale stills remains the same. I know it has changed because everyone comments that I've lost alot of weight-even though the scale says different and I've gone down a size in pants. Bropie is right on...don't use your scale as a judge. The fact that your pants feel looser gives more info than the scale ever will. Having said that, I have also found that diet is also key in "weightloss" and you have to be vigilant about it to really loose weight. Try and re-evaluate what you're eating and see if there room for improvement. Keep up with what your doing and good luck!! -------------- Even if you are on the right track, you will get run over if you just sit there.
