    I did my usual weigh in on Saturdays and I was down to 177lbs and feeling great....anyway so Monday I bought a new scale because my old one had issues now to find out that it was off by 3lbs....when I weighed in I was actually 180 and not 177....this scale is pretty accurate plus I weighed in over 10 times and it gave me the same weight each time bummmmer

    So I have to start all over again and I dont think I'll reach my Valentines goal :sad:
    Only birght spark is this morning I weighed in at 179 so I did lose a pound so far this week but I am still no happy about this

    Start Weight: 197
    Start (MFP): 185
    12/15 - 181 (-4)
    12/22 - 179 (-2)
    12/29 - 181 (+2)
    1/5 - 180 (-1)
    1/12 - 178 (-2)

    mande and loveme, great job on the challenge!

    i tried a new leslie sansome dvd. :) very fun and a great way to walk when the weather is nasty.

    Thanks! I've heard about Leslie Sansome DVD but I thought it was just walking and might be boring. Are there other things she does besides walking?

    even though it is just walking, i do not find it boring at all. she changes it up every few steps so it is simple but not too repetitive. in some of her advance dvds, she also jogs and uses weights or stretch bands.

    Thanks, sweetie! :flowerforyou:

    Which DVD was it? I have two of hers -- Walk Away the Pounds Ultimate Collection, and Walk at Home: 5 Fat Burning Miles. I love the Ultimate Collection -- it has an 18 minute one mile walk, a 30 minute 2 mile walk, a 50 minute 3 mile walk, and a 60 minute 4 mile walk. They are SO good. 5 Fat Burning Miles is just okay. There is a warm up and cool down for EACH mile (each is about 12 minutes long), which is fine if you just want to do one mile each day but change up the routine -- not so good for doing multiple miles in one go, because you don't keep the intensity up so much.

    i have 30 minute walk (2 miles), walk strong (3 miles), intensity walk 3-in-1 (1 mile, 4 miles, walk and jog) and 5-mile walk with firming band. the new one was the 3-in-1; i tried the 4 mile walk. my favorite is the walk strong. i can repeat it and repeat it and repeat it. going to try the walk and jog next.

    Walk Strong and the 3-in-1 sound really good! I already add in some light jogging in the workouts where she uses the stretchy band (I'm not a fan of it, so I boost the walking to a jog instead). I will have to check those out. :smile:

    I just restarted Power90 this week, and yesterday was my strength day. I was expecting my body to be retaining water from the workout and not to see much of a loss on the scale -- but I was happily proved wrong!
