Week 3
Today's weight: 149.5 lbs, 40% body fat
This weeks loss: 3.5 lbs, 0% body fat
Total loss: 7.5 lbs, 2% body fat

Yeah, I lost more weight and broke the 150 lb barrier. But I wonder what's up with my body fat percentage; it hasn't changed in two weeks...Maybe that will change this week. Since my last weigh-in, I've worked out 4 times for 50-60 minutes. I try not to do the same thing every day for variety and balance. In addition to the Step Body Fusion, my pilates DVD's came on Wednesday. There's a fat-burning workout that I did. The first 30 minutes is okay, because it's aerobics with a little dance incorporated. But the last 20 minutes is straight up pilates...and I just couldn't get my body to do those moves! But I tried all of them and eventually I should be able to. According to what I've read, pilates is like that and you have to work and you will get better over time.

Also, I tested what I heard about you weighing different things at different times of the day, and it's pretty much true. My normal weigh-in time is in the morning before I get dressed. But I've also weighed in the afternoon or at night, and I weigh more then, which makes sense I guess because I have food in me that hasn't digested. But then my body fat percentage is usally 1% lower...I wonder why? Maybe it has to do with water...
