    I've been doing Insanity by Beachbody for the past 2 weeks and all I've done is gain 3lbs. Hopefully that's just my body in shock from the drastic change in activity. I'm still pushing through though, we'll see how a steady diet and working out changes my outlook! I'm so tired of looking in the mirror and honing in on every "flaw" I see. Time to get some perspective, and the first step is to make sure that I actually LIKE what I see in the mirror!

    LET'S DO THIS!!

    I would love to join to! I think it's a GREAT idea to be part of a challenge where everyone wants to lose the same 25 pounds. (Seriously, in my last 23-week challenge, we had ladies who were 112 with a goal weight of 110. COME ON!)

    9/19 SW -- 194.2

    Soooo....I just thought I'd share this with all of you because I'm feeling a litle off about it this week and since I'm leading this challenge I really want to set a good example for everyone.....

    I got a major wakeup call on Monday night when I went to the gym. My recorded weight of 206 was taken Saturday morning and my scale at home said that Sunday and Monday morning as well so that's what I went with. Well, to my horror when I went to the gym Monday night and weighed in on their scale (which I KNOW is accurate) I was almost in tears when it ready 212! So I went home and change the batteries in my scale at home and sure enough, 212 now at home too. So this week I've been a little depressed but also motivated. When I woke up Tuesday morning my weight was 209, so I guess that is probably my official starting weight. But, I've been very good this week and this morning weighed in at 207. Soooo I'll stick to the 206 starting weight and really push myself this week to hopefully get to 205 so I can count it as at least a 1 pound loss.

    Just had to get that off my chest, I'm realizing 1.67lbs a week is going to be a little more difficult than I first thought. But I guess the point is I don't want anyone to get discouraged if at weigh in you only lose 0.5 pounds, or none at all. Some weeks you may lose 2lbs! It will all balance out and any weight loss before the New Year is an accomplishment in my eyes!

    I really wouldn't worry about it! Your weight will fluctuate between the morning and nighttime normally. I mean, look at all the stuff you put in your body during the day (and doesn't necessarily come back out if you get what I mean) so your night time weight is usually higher than your morning weight and if you aren't regular your weekly weight can also change a couple pounds. That's why it is best not to weigh yourself alot because you are going to get stressed out about the little changes. Pick a day and a time to weigh yourself and stick to it. I currently weigh myself on Monday mornings and since I'm in a challenge that weighs on Thursdays I do it then too. I'm ALWAYS higher on Thursdays. When that challenge ends I'm going back to just Monday's. Different clothes weigh a lot too.

    I totally agree with "pehermann". Even though I weigh myself many times through out the week, I always go with My official Monday morning weigh in (I am on the scale first thing after the bathroom, in my birthday suit).

    You are already doing a great job setting an example!

    Right now, I walk 2 days a week, yoga atleast once a week, and I'm going to start doing cardio or scuplting one or 2 days. I use the Turbo Jams. I would really like to start my day off with yoga, but I really, REALLY like sleep apperently. Even if I set early alarms, I sleep thru them.

    I just finished a 75 day challenge today, but if it's not too late I would like to be in on the New Year challenge. My weight Monday was 278.

    I really found that the 75 day challenge helped me stay focused and on track. I was just thinking about the holidays coming up and praying that I don't mess up.

    Thanks:smile:
