Coolingeffect Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 Been watching my eating since September and started strength training one month ago tomorrow. I started really noticing that my pants didn't fit the way they used to so I went shopping, fit into a pair of 44 jeans for the first time since my freshman year of high school.....16 years ago. Gained a little weight this week, about 3# but I suspect it is likely lean mass. Total weight loss since the end of September 56 pounds. I'm now only 6" on my waist to my current goal of a size 38. Started at 50, so I guess this is the halfway point. In the last 3 weeks (didn't think to measure at the very beginning)I've lost an inch off of my gut, gained an inch on both biceps, and gained almost 2 on my shoulders. Stayed pretty stable at chest and thighs.maybe a slight gain on chest, and a very slight loss on my thighs. 2 Quote Link to comment
Tanktimus the Encourager Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 Well done! Jim Gaffigan has a bit about what it's like to fat out of pants. It's much nicer to skinny out of pants.

Coolingeffect Posted July 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 The most marked difference I notice is in my confidence. I still don't look awesome, but my strength has increased pretty substantially. I notice that the lifting that I do at work is a ton easier, and I carry myself differently. I don't want to say that I carry myself smugly, but I notice my posture being very different, head up, chest out. The way people react to me is different as well. The next thing I want to do after I lose a bit more is get into boxing or something like that, I figure it will add another physical activity, boost my confidence even more, and learn a new skill. 1 Quote Link to comment
