I missed my doctors appointment this past Monday so I will not have an official weigh in until next Monday but I am feeling good about it. The one thing I need to keep in mind is that I have built up some good muscle's and if my weight has not changed I will assume it is due to more muscle mass. Hopefully I am at 175.

Am I right in thinking you want to loose weight? If you have gained weight but look leaner then you will have burnt fat but gained muscle mass and the same applies if your weight is around the same , If you have lost weight then it will be fat and possibly fluids that you have lost .
Gaining weight is fine as long as it's muscle and not unwanted fat. How much muscle mass you gain will be dictated by your training regime and diet.
Good luck bro 👍

Why not buy a scale?

Because I want to use the same scale I have been using at the doctors. I know it is consistent.

Very low body fat now but still need to drop a few pounds but I understand that a gain in weight may be a good thing if it is muscle. Anyway, I am really digging the way my body is looking and if Monday shows 175 I am taking pictures.

Liking the way we look is part of why we train. I'm very happy for you bro but don't fixate on the 175, if you like the way you look and feel then it doesn't matter if you are slightly over. When I used to train women I would tell them to look at the numbers in their clothes size change and not the ones on the scales!

I am so upset

I actually gained 4 pounds

I am really hoping it is due to new muscle mass. Anyway, I am back on the diet train and I am going to up my aerobic work.

Like you have said DLD it could easily be a gain in muscle that has contributed to you gaining 4 lbs, if that's the case you shouldn't be too concerned. You could always get yourself some scales that measures body fat percentage and track your progress that way.

4 lbs can easily go away don't worry too much!

Well either way I adjusted my diet and I will continue to work until I make that 175 mark!

remember whatever helped you stay lean you need to keep at it when you want to stop losing weight but keep at it with a decreasing amount over time.

I had a good Romany Gypsy friend that used to skip everyday, and he was fit as a flea.

Capable of burning 1000 calories an hour skipping. 10 mins of skipping has the same benefit as a 45 minute run.

I'm going to buy a skipping rope for this comment.

Where have you been? Please just stop at and tell us how you’re doing. You were such a dynamo here and you’ve done some great work, I would love to see you come back. I’m glad that your post was bumped because hopefully this will get you back on the board @beardedbaldy ❤️
