Ok official weigh in complete
Starting: 244 (8/4)
Today: 233. (Down 1 from last week)
Not what I was hoping for BUT I read supplementing with creatine can add-2-4 pounds of water weight (2%) I could "potentially" be between 229-231....no way of knowing for certain unless I stopped supplementing.
it does help w/ my pain, that's not going to happen . I see difference in the mirror (down one pants size. 38 -> 36) so if it only shows I'm down 1 it's eh. Didn't gain. Definitely not frustrated
You will even experience plateaus. The big picture is more important than weekly loss.
@Timmah1979 hey, as long as it's heading down, that's a victory. losing weight can be so hard, esp when you're dealing w/ pain, too.
take the win!👏🏾
@Timmah1979 remember, if you're building muscle, & losing fat, your weight isn't the most important thing to worry about.
losing 1 or 2 pounds/week is actually good progress
@redenigma I know but I'm pushing for 3-4. Don't get me wrong , like I said. Def not complaining. But like anything else nothing wrong with setting the bar high .
@Timmah1979 as long as it isn't more discouraging, that's true
I just wish I knew how much the creatine is playing a factor. Like I said. Definitely not frustrated. Because if it's helping my pain and I'm not sucking down aspirin/ibuprofen, I'll def take some of that water weight.
I also know a few things I ate this week played a factor. I'm not gonna give up things I like and I am using moderation but I'm sure a late night McDonald's run didn't help matters 😂😂😂
