Okay girls, I weighed in early today because I'm rocking Wizard of Oz tonight. I've lost 6 lbs and 2.8% of my weight. To calculate use the following I found on the web...STARTING WEIGHT - CURRENT WEIGHT = WEIGHT LOST. Divide the weight lost by your starting weight and multiply by 100...that's your percentage lost. I'm very proud to be a part of this BLC with y'all. Hope you're all feeling proud of yourselves. Arms around.
I felt really energized by my first week's weigh in. I have also really been using the pedometer to gauge overall activity in my day, aside from my scheduled workouts.
Boy, was I off in my estimation of how active I am on a daily basis. I thought I was up, walking around, and definitely getting in close to the 10,000 steps a day "goal." My actual average for the first week of tracking was closer to 5556 a day. And that average is actually bumped up because I ran two of those days as a workout.
I think everyone should have received a pedometer in their goody bag when we did the kick-off event - try wearing it for a few days. But be careful - the reset button is very easy to press! I had to recalculate a few times after discovering that 2000 steps had magically disappeared.
I challenge you to get an average for a week, then add 1000 to 2000 steps a day until you're getting up to that 10,000 mark! :) Best of luck to everyone - we've already lost 74lbs in one week. Keep up the great work!

Hi guys;
ReplyDeleteI was hoping some of you could share some low-calorie snacks. If I eat one more serving of raisins i'm gonna freak out!
This is really fun. I hope we do it again right after our 12 weeks is up! Who's with me?
