Rep Power: 0 | | | Is this normal? Okay, well, I weighed myself today, and I measured some areas.
Well, I'm down to 210, which is..good, I guess, because i'm losing steadily. (From 234)
I started off at 49 inches in my waist, and 48 inches in my chest.
I'm down to 45.5inches, and 44.5 inches in my chest. Is that normal, or am I just losing fat in other places?
I don't notice much of a change in my body...
Is this normal? I'm just curious, because I don't want to be losing some serious muscle mass... |

Rep Power: 182 | | I'm sure you're not losing serious muscle. It's tough to answer your question but if you have a good bit of fat in those areas, it's reasonable to believe the losses are mostly fat.
Are you weight training?
Are you eatinig enough protein? |

Rep Power: 0 | | I'm not as much as weight training then I am just doing strength exercises. I'm not doing alot of strength training, and I could up-it a little more.
I think my protein is lacking a bit, and so is my caloric intake, because we don't really even have anything in our pantry at the moment. |

| Well the more agressive the deficit, the more important it is to institute muscle-preserving measures such as lifting weights and eating protein.
That is if you're interested in preserving muscle, which seems to be the case... as should be. |  | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | | | Display Modes | Rate This Thread | Linear Mode | |
