Where are the results?

I don't weigh myself.

I should rephrase, I stopped weighing myself. I guess that's part of the reason I slipped back up to 171 pounds. It wasn't until my pants were a little tight that I stepped back on the Confidence Squasher.

I had to weigh myself for the pre-bootcamp measurements. 171.
I had to weigh again for Maintain Don't Gain. 170.

How is it I only lost ONE pound after a week of bootcamp AND supposedly dropping PMS water weight?

My coworker says I've added muscle, then reiterated that I shouldn't weigh myself.

Isn't that a sign of success? I have one tiny, miniscule sign of success.

One. ONE.

This morning I weighed myself: 170.

It's hard work. I know I'm not doing 100 percent. I haven't gotten back in the fruits and veggies groove yet. But shouldn't so much exercise have bigger results?

My pants aren't even getting looser.

It's a good thing we've got this little competition going on between me and Megan (read her blog at http://watchingpoints.blogspot.com). Wanting to see results pushed me to do a mile run and a half-mile of intervals this morning before work.

My goal is 155 pounds. That is how low I got on NutriSystem, and it was a healthy weight for me.
