i was the prson who ate the cheesecake and whatnot and gained like 3-4 pounds from one night
the day that i sent in the question i went running for 3-4 miles and
ate sushi and low fat ice cream (and water)
i probably did have too much of that though
through out the day though when i weighed myself the number did go down to 115 after awhile
the next day (yesterday)
i went running in the morning for 1-2 miles
then had work (which is a camp that involves little kids)
so that must have burned something
went to the gym for an hour (one class is supposed to burn like 700 calories)
then went running again for another 1-2 miles
the only food i ate (which was in one meal) was
a piece of low fat chicken (300 calories)
salad with low fat dressing (300)
and some turkey in light honey mustard (300-400?)
i get on the scale this morning to find that im still 119
if im eating a lot less then sweating myself to death with working out, why am i not back at my normal weight? (115)

Get a tape measure (the soft kind) and write down in inches or centimeters how far around is your waist, hips, thighs, arms, etc. That will tell you if all this exercise and eating right is working. the scale can be inaccurate for a number of reasons: you are retaining water, the scale could be off, what you are wearing, and probably the most likely culprit: muscle gain. as you exercise your fat turns to muscle and muscle weighs more than fat. You are probably getting thinner and more toned, but the scale won't tell you that. so use your measurements and pay attention to how your pants and shirts fit. good luck [ person43's advice column | Ask person43 A Question ]
