We actually didn't start till April 30th, so today is the 2nd week of our weigh in's! I hope everyone is doing a GREAT job! I can't wait to hear the comments for this week. I weighed lastnight, but I'm going to weigh again today for my FINAL result for this week. I hadn't lost much, but I lost some body fat % so that's a plus- esp since I've been busting it at the gym. I took the Body Combat class lastnight and it was a GREAT calorie burner class and I'm actually sore today. I suggest that class to all. Its funner than the treadmill or elliptical. Time flew by too. I LOVE Rocky Balboa, so this is right up my alley ;) Well girls- LET'S HEAR IT???

This week's challenge: Drink as much water (half of your body weight) EVERY DAY!
Ex: 180 lb girl will drink 90 oz water a day! GO FOR IT- you can do it!
I started to get discouraged due to the fact that I was SLOWLY losing weight and then I read these tips and felt better, so I wanted to help re-assure your dieting/exercising progress as well:
1) Weighing yourself first thing in the morning is usually best. Because of variations in food and fluid consumption, we often “gain” different amounts of weight throughout the day.
2) If you're weighing frequently, remember that daily fluctuations in weight are common. Just because you're heavier today than yesterday doesn't mean your weight control program isn't working. Don't become a slave to the numbers.
3) Monthly variations in weight are also common in menstruating women.
4) “Plateaus” in weight loss aren't necessarily bad. If you're exercising a lot, your weight may remain constant for a time even though you're still decreasing your body fat content and getting healthier.
5) Finally, cues other than the numbers on the scale are equally important. How do you feel? Are your clothes getting looser or tighter? Do you feel stronger, healthier, leaner? Your own perceptions can be the most valuable tools to help you track your weight control progress.
