12WBT End Week 3 Weigh In Results

Weight In Results - End of Week 3

OVERALL RESULTS from 12WBT so far....

In 3 weeks I have...

LOST 1.1kg

LOST 5.8% Body Fat

GAINED 1.2% Skeletal Muscle

LOST a total of 11cm

I am going to be completely honest and say that I am really disappointed with the results.

I know that its only a number and that it doesn't define me BUT *insert 'me stamping my feet' here* - I want my weight to come down!!

I discussed my concerns with my trainer on Friday and he said to just keep on going with good nutrition (I am 85% there - still got some fine tuning to do. I am hopeful that the 15% is what is holding me back) and exercise and it will eventually happen - nothing that I haven't already been told by others in the past. Whilst I know that what he/they is saying is true...I can't help but feel frustrated.

Anyway...my little dummy spit is over and I know that in the grand scheme of things I am not just doing what I do for a result on the scales but to live a healthy lifestyle and be a good role model for my boys and for others too.

AND again if I am to be completely honest, if I'm not 100% on track with my nutrition then I shouldn't expect awesome results. Although in comparison to where my nutrition was 3 weeks ago I would at least expect it to move more....even by 100grams.

A note about my Thigh / Calf Measurement:

When I first started this challenge my right leg (the operated one) was smaller than the left due to atrophy of the muscle (wasting away of the muscle due to disuse) BUT I am happy to report that I have managed to increase the muscle mass and my thighs are now the same. My calves still have some work to do - more single legged heal raises.
