Turned a new leaf since Christmas and from doing nothing have become an exercise addict... Running, boot camps, netball and badminton, most nights of the week. I was in the lower to mid half of my bmi when I started.
Since all this, I have eaten tonnes more, put weight on...up to half a stone, probably now higher end of bmi but as far as I can tell I have lost at least 2 inches from thighs, waist and hips. It's a bit hard to tell for certain as obv skin is squishy rather than hard, when measuring!
I started all this more to get in shape, and get physically strong, work my body and heart, etc rather lose weight. I don't want to gain weight tho!! I know everyone says muscle weighs more than fat but I can't help but feel freaked out when I see the scales saying I am half a stone heavier. I am eating more but some days I just really, really need the fuel.
Not sure what I am asking. Just maybe some reassurance?
