Started Month 2 of Insanity and it is INSANE! Still getting up early to get it in. It has been quite
a challenge to get the kids off to school and get to work on time but getting a morning workout in
actually energizes me.
Let's keep up the great work ladies.
GREAT JOB Lady!! Keep up the good work.0 -

No loss this week. I think I'm going to stay off the scale for a couple of weeks. I'm getting obsessed, depressed and putting too much pressure on myself. My next weigh-in will be March 25th.
I can totally understand. I'm weighing in once a month now because I had come to the point where I'd hop on the scale every single time I went to the bathroom. I think that stressing over the scale and obsessing over it, adds at least five pounds.
Stay away from the scale for a while. I'm sure you'll see some changes soon.
I totally agree with you. Every morning I'm stepping on the scale. I'm taking the battery out and hiding it! I may not weigh in until April 1st.0 -

Trying to focus on reducing sodium intake.
I totally understand the obsession with the scale. It's so tempting to step on it
every time I'd pass it. It's can be such an evil tool. I was stuck at losing and gaining
the same 3 pounds for about 7 months. The best way to measure your progress it to use a tape measure
and watch how your clothes fit.0 -
Would like to join and get some accountability!!! Is the routine just to check in every Monday?0

I too would like to join for some accountability. You all seem like a very encouraging bunch! I would like to preface my stats by saying my goals are more for toning, and replacing my fat lbs. with muscle, and losing inches in my thighs. I'm pear-shaped, and all of my fat is in my lower half. I'm at an OK weight, just too much jiggle going on in the thighs and triceps.
SW: 135 as of 3/11/13
CW: 137 ...weird
GW: 120-125 or wherever the scale settles once I incorporate weights and cardio into my schedule regularly
NSV:
- Fit into Size 6 GAP jeans I wore 2 summers ago
- See some muscle in my thighs, and wear shorts this summer without experiencing chaffing in my thighs
- Looser fitting collared shirts in the arms (tricep area)0 -
I too step on the scale way too much. If I stay off a day I am doing great. It changes way too much for me to be stressing so I need to check once a week max to see where I really stand...easier said than done!!0

I'm not posting stats until month end, but had to stop in and get updated. I'm in awe of all of you and celebrate your successes and feel your pain on the challenges. You're all amazing! Keep up the good work!0

This is wonderful, I really need to be more accountable and having a group will help me to remember that summer is just around the corner.
SW: 187

1. Look decent in a pair of shorts so that I don't have to wear jeans all summer
2. Workout EVERY day, even if it's just a walk
3. Take more pictures (and maybe even work up the confidence to share them!) because I'm sick of hiding from the camera and having no photos with friends or family0 -

I'm right there with you. I went on the scale this morning actually : / Tomorrow morning I'm going to take my measurements and post them on here. Then I wil update them in 2 weeks. Is two weeks enough time to see lasting change in my body?0 -

Hi Ladies,
Just checking in. I didn't lose this week which I knew because I looked at my body and saw that I was holding on to the bloat! LOL
It is that time of the month and I just let it be this week. I worked out twice so far and will be heading to Zumba fusion class tonight. Not sure what the fusion part is, but we will see. I normally workout with my Zumba DVD's at home, but I have 15 fitness classes at the gym, and decided to give it a try. I will try their strength class next week to see what it is about.
Let's do it!!!

I LUV Zumba! It is my fun workout. Enjoy your class tonight. I think when you do it with a group it is much more fun than just doing the DVDs alone.0
