Two seperate body strength workouts, core and upper. 15 minutes on each.
Don't sore musles swell and cause you to weigh more on the scale? Because, after this week of exercise and wonderful eating, I have gained three pounds. I'm kind of disappointed, but I have read before that sore muscles make you weigh more and my leg muscles are hurting.
Didn't work out yesterday morning as I'd planned, but instead I finally kicked myself into gear in the evening and worked out! Yay! 2-mile WATP w/weights.
I'm not sure about the sore muscle thing, diem -- I've heard something like that before too. But I just have to say: WOW! You've lost 140 pounds! That's AMAZING! VERY inspiring!
Today I did an old video I used to use in college -- The Firm total body workout with weights. It's the one with Janet Jones in a white leotard. It's so cheesy but it kicked my butt. It has some outdated moves and they kind of throw weights around a bit too fast, but I modified some stuff and I had sweat dripping off my face by the middle of it. Whew!
Hi everyone! I'm new to this forum and I wanna join in on the wonderful support system you have.
I recieved my Turbo Jam workouts yesterday and am starting today. I'm gonna follow the 4-5x a week workout plan suggested by the program.
I wanna lose 8-10lbs a month.
I need to focus from now til mid-Jan because I'm going on a fabulous trip to Hawaii and I AM GOING TO WEAR A BATHING SUIT!!!
lol
Off now to unknown birthday festivities. Will not return with any additional exercise until the birthday is over (I asked if a slot had been planned in my day by the people planning the birthday for me to work out - I was told that no, definitely there was no time, so there you have it).

Yes, I find that when I weigh myself the day after a heavy leg workout I weigh more...but don't let the gain deter you from doing weights, weight training benefits far outweigh that 3# weight gain... Anyways, the weight gain won't continually go up, just keep doing what you are doing if the scale stays the same, use the pant-o-meter to measure progress...

Is it normal to still be up a few days later? I haven't done anything all weekend and my legs no longer feel sore, but I'm still up.

Reason: Fixed a word.
Since adding w/t to my weekly exercise, I found that my weight fluctuates 2-4 pounds. I'm still very slowly taking pounds off in very small increments over several weeks timeframe, but whether it be the w/t addition or bc I'm so close to goal, I'm just using this period as a maintenance course. Ilene is correct that the w/t far exceeds the benefits of just losing for the sake of reaching a goal. It has taken me awhile to get this in perspective.

Do you journal your food intake? Make sure your food is super clean, and if it is, my thought is that suddenly you will drop 3 or more pounds. Make sure you drink all your water too...
Run to and from the gym total of 5k arms at the gym
