I am total newbie to r/loseit challenges, and I have a question: Are you supposed to weigh in at the beginning or the end of the week? Since I was just added to the spreadsheet today, I logged my weight, but I'm curious what standard procedure is.

I am curious about the color bands I've seen on ebay/amazon, too @Mimilucious . The whole reason I chose the misfit shine over other trackers is because I thought it was the most attractive, so it's a little frustrating to have a bulky band. I'm curious about the crystal styles, but I'm not interested in paying that much…

I ended up going with the black leather band. I wanted the mesh since it seemed more feminine, but according to reviews on Amazon the mesh clasp doesn't always work well, and if you have smaller wrists the extra mesh can be annoying. I have really small wrists, so this worried me. I just got the leather band in the mail…

I'm not sure how many of you still use it, but I've added some on this list. My UN is ennuifreezone if anyone wants to add me on Misfit, too.

I have this same problem, and I haven't found a good solution. I started running on an indoor track, but if I have to run outside I try to run early early mornings to beat the heat. It's always hot and humid where I live though, so it's still hard to breathe sometimes. I think some people are more sensitive to heat than…

I finally made it! I am still slower than I'd like - yesterday I ran for distance and timed my 5k at 35mins exactly, but it felt good. I think I might try to up my speed before aiming for farther distances. I run on a track, and I did notice I passed a couple of people yesterday! So I am getting better. Thanks everyone for…

Stylish!

I finished w8d1 last night, and it was tougher than I thought it would be. Something about those last three minutes really did me in, but at least I finished! You guys are so right about it being more mental than anything.

W7D2 finished! This one was a lot easier than the day before, which I really struggled through. The NHS podcast music is SO TERRIBLE, you guys; you have no idea. Anyway, I can't believe I've stuck with it this long. Almost there!

Haha, I love your wording on this. I would love to have the motivation to get up that early to run, especially now that summer is in full force here, but I'm stuck at doing it after work since I am too lazy to wake up so early. You've totally got this, don't give up! I finished w6d3 yesterday, and I guess the NHS podcast…

I think the larger the size, the bigger the jump between them. For example, I wear a 12 now, and I weigh around 180lbs at 5'8". But I'm wearing the same work clothes when I was at 165lbs last year. But when I was lighter before, I wore a size 4 at 130lbs, a size 6 at 135lbs, size 8 at 145lbs, etc. So I think the increments…

Ok, thanks, I will try to track that book down! I honestly didn't want to, but I didn't know if because I was just being scared or if it really is in fact unwise. :D I'd rather do a 10k first.

Enell has a great reputation among my friends, but you definitely have to lay down some cash for it! Might be worth it though if you can't find a cheaper one that works for you.

I have PCOS, diagnosed officially, and I haven't really had any trouble (out of the normal) losing weight. I've previously lost 40 lbs, and I just was really strict about following my calorie guidelines and exercised every day, one day of cardio and then one day of strength training/stretching. I feel like I plateaued a…

Just finished W5D3 too! We are awesome!!! It wasn't that bad until the very end. I did the first mile at 10min, but had to slow down a bit for the second. Still being lapped by all the university kids on the track, but at least I'm moving!

I finished wk4d2 yesterday, but it was pretty rough. I run on an inside track, and I can't imagine doing this outside in our summer heat! The running store near my workplace has a free c25k running club they are starting next month, and I thinking of joining. Even though I'll be almost finished by then, I figure making the…

Sometimes if you hit a plateau it helps to change things up a little at the gym - maybe try a different type of cardio or create a new weight routine. If you have the money, you could try hiring a trainer for a brief period to show you a new routine. Also, double down on making sure you carefully track your food to get…

Of course you should go back, everyone has to start somewhere! Don't worry about not being perfect at the moves, that will come in time. Or maybe not - I am pretty hopeless with rhythm, haha - but it is still fun! The more you do it, the easier it will be. Maybe try to get a friend to go with you if you are self-conscious…
