To keep us motivated - try updating this every week: (or would you all prefer measurements because as we know, it's not JUST about losing the weight, sometimes our successes come from losing inches and it doesn't always show on the scale)

    How about if we do the measurements per the Quick Start Guide?

    Weight:
    Chest:
    Waist:
    Arms:
    Thighs:

    I'm all for that. The scale never tells the whole story! I measured on Monday (sooo depressing...yikes) and will remeasure Sunday night - takes up less time than trying to get it done before the 6 am workout. :)

    Right, I'll go first then. :)

    Weight: -2lbs (to 13st 11)
    Chest, Arms and Waist: All -0.5"
    Thighs: No change in size, but they definitely feel stronger and there is definitely a hint of definition around my knees now.

    For about 3 hours of work and being sensible with food, I'd call losing 2lbs and 1.5" a win!

    waist: - 1 inches
    hips: -.5 inches

    This was a hard first week, but we followed it exactly with the quick start guide! I'm looking forward to having the extra calories this week!

    Great job everyone! Love seeing the results - fingers crossed I get similar ones on Sunday at my first week check-in. :)

    I will have them for next week! I never logged a started weight/measurement and can only guess that I'm at least down 1 lb but have no idea on inches. Bring on week 2!

    I'm getting a tape measure today so I can log measurements next week. This week I'm down 3 lbs!

    down 5 lbs (tho i tribute that to some "female" bloating last week...lol)

    I lost I'm sure in inches as well however, I'm not sure we measured in exactly the same spots as last week as some seemed to have "inched" up.

    I actually haven't lost a single ounce, which is discouraging. But i know that I've lost some inches in my belly because I can button up the last button on my coat. :smiley: So that's something. I'll have to actually measure sometime.

    I lost 6 lbs...I have a long way to go, but happy w the loss. Looking forward to losing inches so I can complete the moves accurately.

    Next week I will detail out a bit more on the losses - I like seeing the stats, not only weight loss but inches too! :D

    I just finished week 1 of Alpha. Feeling good. Didn't take measurements, but will tomorrow. Good job everyone!

    Weight: -0.5lb (BOO!)
    Chest: +0.5" (BOO!)
    Arm and Thigh: +1"

    I was quite disheartened when I took my measurements this morning... until I measured my body fat % with the trusty calipers. Down 3 points on last week and down a total of 8 points since I started. Could this mean I'm actually gaining the tiniest bit of muscle?! :o

    downward is good. are you taking measurements as well?

  • shummel53
    shummel53 Posts: 20 Member
    No. I don't feel I've been very accurate measuring in the past. I will weigh once a week and cont to monitor diet. I am looking forward to losing inches though, so I will be able to do some of the moves better.

    Not much of a shift in measurements this week, but down another 2 lbs. :)

    No changes this week :neutral_face:

    No weight change for me either, but not surprising as I went away for a couple a days this week and while I kept up with the exercise I completely fell off the diet wagon (lots of red wine and cheese!). At least I didn't gain and back to eating well again now :smile:

    Down 1.5 pounds - I am starting to notice slight differences in how the clothes fit so that's a good thing. :smile:

    Keep it up everyone! Might be a slow go but it's the better way to get there. YOU GOT THIS!
