I love the sports gym I am going to. I have lost weight before, but people would say to me “those diets don’t work. You’re just losing water.” and after I went off the diet, the weight would come back, plus a little more.
I’ve struggled with how to keep the pounds off since I was in the 4th grade. Throughout my life I have probably heard every slur there is for fat (in both English and Japanese – I now live in Nagasaki).
There were times I was able to lose weight, slim down, even build up my muscles, but I find it hard to stick to most diets, and we all know that once you go back to your old style, your body does too.
But now, at my sports gym, they do a deep body scan every few months. I was so happy to learn that I have actually lost more pounds of body FAT than of body WEIGHT. My muscle weight is up almost a pound, and I have a higher percentage of body water (mostly because I have cut back caffeine and heavy drinking).
So when my friends tell me that I am losing weight too quickly and that it’s just water and it will all come back even more quickly, I can show them my scan.
I’m so glad to feel like I am finally in control of my life and able to maintain weight loss, that I started this blog.
I hope you find it useful, and please comment about your experiences trying to burn fat
