Day 38 of ME

Well...no change on scale or tape measure.  :-(
Kind of surprised.  BUT...I am giving it the full 10 weeks.
Metabolic Effect posted winners and runners up of the 10 week challenge yesterday, and the photos were impressive.  Just 10 weeks.  I can do this.
Fat loss is more important than weight loss.
I am really going to have to change the ingrained idea that the scale tells all.
My weight is the same, but my fat percentage is down lower than it ever was, even when I was 10 pounds lighter a few years ago.  
% is down about 1.5% from last week and nearly 5% from when I started.  

REFOCUS:  Fat loss is more important than weight loss.  This approach is very different from all others I've done and is healthier, more doable, doesn't leave me starving, and targets FAT, not muscle.  As I get older, muscle loss is not an option.  I must preserve that, and other diets do not help with this.  I must change my thinking on the number on the scale.  

Joe says my butt is smaller, and he usually doesn't notice, so I'll be happy with this for now.  :-)
