Stupid training!

None of my jeans fit! Any of you ladies who have trained or are traing for a half or full marathon dealing with the same thing? Of course Dh has to rub it in and be like "what's up with your butt?". Argh!

However I went out and bought a new scale since the old one was cheap and junkie. Anyone else have the weight watchers body fat analysis scale? I like it so far!

Re: Stupid training!

When I trained for a full marathon, I put on 5 lbs over the course of my training. It was frustrating. I tried to chock it up to muscle building.

Re: Stupid training!

Hmmm, not here. I did gain weight since last summer but am positive it is muscle, because my clothes fit better and in some things i even needed a smaller size. How are your eating habits?

Re: Stupid training!

My legs got cut and my butt got flat...I would have preferred less wide, not flat. I also kept losing weight in my lower back and between that and my butt going flat shopping for pants was rough!

Re: Stupid training!

The scale is staying the same and I've increased my calories slightly. I was eating way too little for way too long. For about 5 years I was eating mostly 1200 calories a day. I recalculated everything and I'm supposed to be eating 1600 calories a day minimum. Since the scale isn't going up I'm going to stick with this and try to reset my metabolism. I'm sad I don't fit in my size 2's anymore though!

Re: Stupid training!

i always seem to gain weight while training for halfs. think it's a combo of putting on muscle mass and eating because i'm so much hungrier!
