When I started on the South Beach plan my goal was to get to 150 pounds, down from 164. Once I reached my goal I realized I still had more weight to lose. Fast forward to today and my weight is at the 144 to 145 mark. I am happy but not. Let me explain.

So this is what I figured out. I have not worked out with weights in over two years, but when I was in shape my weight was in the 145 to 148 range. My muscle to fat ratio was much higher. So since I have not worked out in years my “lean weight” is more in the 140 to 142 range. I am not happy with this. As Lilly says if you keep going you will be at zero pounds.

She is right, I would much rather be 145/148 with the extra added weight being lean muscle. I need to make a commitment to exercise again and get that muscle back.

Happy Friday!
