    Thank you for such a great article. BUT what if one has no weight loss or gradual gain after starting new workouts for more than a few weeks?

    I'd like to know the answer to this one, too.

    Thanks for this posting...perfect timing! I have been doing Turbo Fire for 2 weeks and did have a slight increase on the scale despite my sweating and trying so hard during the workout. I was about to switch to something else but I will stick with it a while longer.

    So close to my goal that I can't give up now!

    Thank you so much for posting this. It is knowledge that helps us grow and understand.

    I found this out a couple of months ago when I was gaining :o lol. I'm a beachbody coach and I've been doing Brazil Butt Lift since January and I'm learning so much. The eating is my biggest problem (not enough calories :o lol) BUT since starting MFP I have to say that I LOVE IT! My pt session in combination with better eating habits will help me get on my way to being 122lbs and healthy. My next goal is the Reset then a cruise and then Chalean Extreme. Insanity again and then Asylum :o lol (yeah I'm a little crazy)

    Since I can't pt while doing the reset I'm hoping to use this time to reflect, rest so when I hit I tackle The DOF (decade old fat) I will be ready to go again in 4 weeks (I start next Monday.)

    Thanks for the post!! I just started P90X today, so I think I'll put the scale away for the next 30 days to avoid the disappointment, even though it would be short lived ! :)
