I haven't tried to get a clean (fasted) morning weight like the 197 I posted at the start. I use the shipping scale at work, and by the time I get here I have already had coffee, water, eggs, juice, whey... I find I don't worry so much if I don't weigh every week.

I just weighted myself after eating lunch. This is with a gut full of food. I've eaten chicken, rice, roast pork, oats, almonds, 2 eggs, 2 whey, OJ, 2-3 bottles of water so far today... 198. And my pants are fitting looser at the waist. I expected a higher number.

Not very scientific, but my perception is that I've lost a little fat while appearing to increase measurements around thighs, arms and chest. At least that's what the GF said. I should get a tape and post actual numbers, but I'll probably just keep lifting and eating clean and look at a long term end result instead of concerning myself with the short term.

When it comes down to it, if I increase strength and gain mass without having to buy any new pants then I am achieving my goal.

The numbers show my increases so I'm happy. I know it's not much compared to powerlifter?s numbers, but I was rather proud of my 200lb x 7reps Deadlift yesterday. I know I could do more if I had just concentrated on keeping my back straight for the eight rep instead of thinking "Oh God I have to lift this thing again."

I know my routine is designed to stimulate muscle growth and not specifically designed to rapidly increase numbers, but I am still determined to get the 3 big lifts above my body weight. As long as I beat the log book I'm making progress.

also, feel free to post the rest of the week too, not just one day a week :)

Oh, I do. Every time IG posts new pics! :D

I lurk a lot and look through the new posts and more often than not I don't have anything to contribute or I feel like I am too much of a noob to post my opinions about lifting.
 
sounds good man, glad to hear things are going well. and you are not too much of a noob to contribute to the board, everybodies opinion is important.

join in have fun!
 
I forgot to mention: I'm going camping in Kentucky for a week, so I won't be posting for another week. No, I can't squeal like a pig, I don't have a purdy mouth, and if I hear banjos I've got a .45 and a .357
