username4 Posted January 31, 2005 Posted January 31, 2005 i just saw a vid with me in it before i started lifting weights and i was umm well take a 6,3 bean pole and add about 50 lbs of loose fat and thats what i looked like when i look in the mirror now i look skinny im still 6,3 but still weight 185. whats up?
SevenStar Posted January 31, 2005 Posted January 31, 2005 my initial guess would be that you lost the fat, but replaced it with muscle. Muscle is more dense than fat, so you may have only added a slight bit of muscle and it was enough to equal out what you weight originally.
krzychicano Posted February 3, 2005 Posted February 3, 2005 I would agree with seven on this. I had a personal trainer and I experienced the same thing but I was toner. I wouldn't worry about the weight. If you keep doing what you are doing right now the weight wont matter because like you said you see the difference. I have seen overweight people that weigh 250 and I have seen a person that is ripped and bulging out and looks to weigh 250 but only weighs 200. Mike tyson is a good example he was huge and ripped and he was around 200 pounds. What the superior man seeks is in himself; what the small man seeks is in others. - Confucius
June1 Posted February 3, 2005 Posted February 3, 2005 I've been told I have really heavy bones. That may be part of what's causing your weight to stay the same. When I started karate, I had a bit of flab here and there. I weighed 125 lbs then. 4 months later, I'm more toned, but I weigh the same. I now think it's the muscle keeping me there, thanks to you guys. But I really don't care how much I weigh. I'd just like to be more toned and healthy. Kool Kiais: ICE! DIE! KITES!

June1 Posted February 4, 2005 Posted February 4, 2005 I definitely will! There's nothing better than a good, hard karate (or general MA) class to make you feel better in every aspect.
