I agree that when getting into shape, especially going from an untrained to a more trained state, there are a lot of big changes in % fat vs muscle, and that one may lose fat while staying the same (or even perhaps slightly increasing) weight.<BR/><BR/>But I was losing weight quite steadily at 1-1.5 pounds per week until I made 2 changes: 1) increased weekly workload (from a high level to a higher level basically) and 2) changed insulin regimens. #2 definitely caused more lows and I think that was the initial reason I stopped losing weight.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps I am gaining muscle mass but it just seems unlikely that I would be gaining enough muscle mass to offset any potential weight loss. But I guess the facts are what they are.<BR/><BR/>I did notice that weight loss was easier the better BG's I was having.<BR/><BR/>It is important to me to actually weigh less while keeping a high muscle mass so that I can perform better. I feel better and can race a lot faster. If I didn't care about racing, I would probably be happy just where I am.Anne Findlayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03005305831235654057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19730599.post-70193328076053136142008-06-04T10:42:00.000-06:002008-06-04T10:42:00.000-06:00Yep, me too...but I know it is because I am adding...Yep, me too...but I know it is because I am adding on 700 calories just to cover my doggone lows!! Ugh!!<BR/><BR/>Maybe you start to retain fluid after exercising so intensively? I know the body seems to hold on to the things it really wants.~Suzanne~https://www.blogger.com/profile/01679196405914344639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19730599.post-87084175999144264612008-06-04T08:25:00.000-06:002008-06-04T08:25:00.000-06:00I am running into this problem as well.

I will have to agree with Scott, though, that it's probably just muscle mass that is more dense than fat. So, even though I may weigh more, I'm probably trimmer and in better shape.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19730599.post-5919068838502069512008-06-04T07:40:00.000-06:002008-06-04T07:40:00.000-06:00I am in the same situation.

I will wake up at 220 lbs on the scale, and then go to bed at 230 lbs. It doesn't make sense. It is great to see that number in the morning though, unfortunately, thats about the same number as my blood sugar too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19730599.post-58934422940699500562008-06-04T06:46:00.000-06:002008-06-04T06:46:00.000-06:00Muscle mass is more dense than adipose tissue ther...Muscle mass is more dense than adipose tissue therefore it weighs more, so try not to focus as much on your actual weight and more on your percentage of muscle to fat ... you may find that a less frustrating measure!Scott Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03286529314567223617noreply@blogger.com
