Yesterday I was looking at my BMI (Body Mass Index) and it almost made me want to cry or laugh or ......something. Just so you know, I used a calculator that only accounts for gender, height, and weight.
About a year ago I calculated my BMI and I was in the overweight category. Yesterday I decided to calculate it again. In the past year I've gained about five pounds (assuming my scale is still working correctly), which now puts my BMI in the obese category. The thing is...my clothes fit better, and my love handles have shrunk. What is up with that?!? I know I can improve my diet (add more fruits and veggies) and portion control but, I'm TONS better at exercising regularly. I guess I'm just adding more muscle and decressing my fat. Maybe I should talk to a personal trainer at the gym and see if they will test my body fat.

You poor girl. How frustrating. My sister is going through the same thing. Her clothes are fitting better and yet she is gaining weight. This has been going on for several years. The girl works out like a work horse and still no progress.....
Oh that sucks!! I am with you though, the more I run the more I weigh, it sucks! I dont know if you have tried instead of going off weight going by inches. So measure your hips, waist, arms, thighs. (I think there are a few more places but cant remember right now) That way you can see where it is coming off. It helped me when I look at the scale and the number is getting higher, but clothes fit better. Either way GOOD Job!! I cant even get myself into a gym, I try doing stuff with the kids or put them in the stroller and go running, but oh how I miss the gym. So GREAT Job!!
