You know you're a Fitbit addict when...

  • You pace the house to get to a particular figure before going to bed
  • You sit down when recharging as you don't want to 'waste' any steps
  • You park further away from the shops to gain extra steps

I hit a low of 144 a couple months ago but have sadly gained a few pounds back. I hope it's because I'm gaining muscle--I should have my fat percentage analyzed--but I'm not so sure.

 

I am glad that I moved up to using five-pound dumbbells instead of three.

 

And when my boyfriend and I visit his mom in upstate NY around Christmas, I'm going to have to find a way to get my 10,000 steps, even if it's walking up and down the hall.

@Donna_KYou have done really well so far so be proud of that in itself.

I was pacing getting in steps while waiting to be called to get a bone density test.  The receptionist asked me if I was okay.  They laughed when I explained.

Best Answer

I pace while waiting for the elevator. At my office building, that can sometimes take a few minutes because the **ahem**ty building seems not to have them all running.

@DanielleinDC how does your clothing fit?  When a pression losses fast and gain muscle the clothing usually gets baggy and the pants fall down.  

Best Answer

@Rich_Laue My pants are fairly loose. I can take some pairs off without unbuttoning, and I have to wear a belt. They were never particularly tight, but now they've quite loose on me.

There you go @DanielleinDC, your weight is being redistributed. 🙂 

Actually this is not uncommon when somebody increases their activity.

At first they weight comes of a little or not depending on.how soon the muscle starts to increase. Remember that a pound of muscle takes up less space then a pound of fat. If your weight hasn't changed, but your clothing is looser then less fat more muscle.

Get your Optometrist to get you the face lift. After my accident they didn't find a stress fracture from the airbag hitting my face. Over several years my face features started to drop 1st causing me to think I was getting tunnel vision because I couldn't see anything on the side of me without turning my head but the skin and bone around the eyes and mouth were causing the problem so a Plastic Surgeon lifted and fixed the areas around the eyes so now I see perfectly and in the middle of getting two teeth implants so my mouth area will no longer look deformed and I'll be able to start eating solid foods again.  So check with your Optometrist and convince him it's needed so you can see.😀
