    kinda sucks that I did second to last. Guess I should not have done so well on my initial test :p. After my initial test I was sore for days. It even started me out at week three. I don't know if I should feel discouraged because I've been working really hard, I did 200 sit ups today, 165 squats, and 80 dips.

    Don't be discouraged!! A lot of people went down with the first week's results - it's exactly like you said, the initial test was done cold, while you're rested and not sore. Everyone will get there!! :)

    Please don't be discouraged. I don't think this challenge was meant for each of us to compete with each other. At least I don't see it that way. I think this was meant to make each of us more stronger by the end. I can't stand to do sit-ups, but have no problems doing dips or squats. Being able to do more than what I initially started with and will eventually end with, is a huge accomplishment. Keep your chin up and just continue doing what you do.

    Thanks guys <3 I think I was down because of a combination of this and the new scale I bought that shows I weigh 3 pounds heavier. It's a digital WW scale so I was told it was very accurate. lol stupid things like this shouldn't get me bummed so I'm gonna keep trying to focus on the positive... I'm still 15 pounds less than where I was in May :)

    I swear by my WW scale. I actually think the commercial one is more accurate than the scales they use at meetings. Since it only has a couple people using it as opposed to goodness knows how many during meetings. When I was doing WW my home scale would say one thing and in the five minute drive up the street the meeting scale would add weight so don't get down because the new scale has heavier. It could just as easily be explained that your body is retaining water to repair muscle or you build muscle in that week. And being 15 pounds lighter than in May is a fantastic accomplishment so ignore the scale. You're doing great. :)

    I'm going to have to be a loser and drop out. Between all the 12 hr shifts I've been working + insanity, i just dont have the time to fully commit. However, i will keep working on it at a slower pace! Good luck to everyone!
