Update

After the second round of poison ivy and prednisone medication for the
season I'm happy to say my weight is back at 148. Maybe now I can see some
real results from going back to the WW at work sessions. I had been down a
couple pounds but gained a few while on the medication. My doctor advised
staying out of my yard and for once I think I'll take his adviceg

I did the tape measure and BF test at Bally's last week. I was really
pleased to see a 2% decrease in the BF and 1/2 inch loss in most
measurements. The thighs were up 1/2 inch but I imagine that's from all the
bike riding - 130 miles the last two weeks. I'm not 100% sure what caused
the BF decrease - bike riding, weight training or CLA. I haven't done too
much weight training the past two weeks. I started taking CLA about 6-8
weeks ago. Several studies indicate it can help to reduce BF. Most of my
fat is around the waist area so I'll stick with the CLA, exercise and diet
and hope for a continued decrease in BF.

I'm still shooting for 140 as my first goal. At that point I'll see where
the BF is and go from that point.

Bev,
I had no idea my update was going to fall under yours in the thread, I
must have been in the wrong place when I hit send. Sorry. Sounds like
you have your plan going well and I hope things go as you hope.

Not a problem. It often happens.

Glad to hear things are going well for you, too.
