Gym Junkies of a Different Kind

The gym I test my strength in a couple of times each week is a little different to most others. It’s a local council run facility full of gym junkies (of the nicest possible variety)  and I feel extremely confident I’m never going to see anyone prancing around posing and flexing their muscles....

Confused about FitPoints and converting them.

I did weightwatchers quite some time ago and lost about 25lbs steadily over 6 months. I started working out during this process and my weight loss stopped cold. My body composition changed but the weight was pretty much steady. I eventually gave up both confused. Fast forward to this past October, I started WW and Orangetheory and have been doing both pretty religiously (except for two weeks in December for international travel). I go to OTF 4 times a week: Mon, Tues, Thurs, and Fri. At first I dropped almost 15lbs like no problem. But it’s been a slog ever since. Same issue has hit. I’ve been holding steady weight. My clothes do fit much better and my wife definitely notices a difference and says that my spare tire is getting much smaller. I also notice my muscles are firmer and growing a little. Overall, it’s good stuff but I’m curious why my weight doesn’t seem to be dropping like others here. Anyway I tried looking today into how the workouts affect my points and notice that I ...

Weight fluctuation - leaders should talk more about this!

After being in Weight Watchers for awhile and following Facebook groups for recipes and support, it gets tiring hearing people complain about gaining half a pound, or not losing for 3 weeks, etc. I feel like WW leaders don’t talk about this unless someone asks in a meeting. Has anyone’s leader actually addressed this proactively? I may write to corporate about this because it isn’t talked about enough. For anyone who is wondering, you will not lose weight every single week. Eventually your body will plateau for a time. Just keep with the program and eventually you’ll start losing again. Once you’re closer to a healthy weight, the losses are very small and the gain/maintain weeks are much more frequent. It doesn’t mean the program isn’t working and it isn’t cause for panic. submitted by /u/1cecream4breakfast [link] [comments] from Proven weight loss success since 1963...now with 10% more Oprah https://ift.tt/2Po7CKJ
