Weigh-In Week #4 - Biggest Loser Summer Challenge Day #7

Well, it’s been four weeks now since joining the community here on SP and it’s been a wonderful four weeks. The level of encouragement, support and motivation has been absolutely phenomenal. It’s official, I’m hooked on SP.



Today was my one month weigh in and I lost .5 lbs for a total of 4.5 lbs for the month. While it’s not the impressive numbers of some, it’s an amount that I am pretty pleased with. If I continue losing 4-5 lbs a month, I will be a very happy camper, or rather a happy Sparker.

Today was also my first week on the Sisters in Sweat Biggest Loser Summer Challenge. Initially, I was very excited about my loss this week, in spite of the miniscule amount. However, it wasn’t until I posted it on the team blog that I became rather disappointed at my small loss.

Based on the losses for the rest of the members of the two teams, mine was one of the lowest amounts. For just a moment, I felt discouraged because it wasn’t more. Fortunately, it only lasted for a moment (maybe two) and then I realized that we’re all different and we all have different programs. I reminded myself that I lost 4.5 lbs in the four weeks that I’ve been on my SP program and that a pound a week is a good average.

But the best part was when hubby said that I shouldn’t worry about the pounds I wasn’t losing because although I might have not lost as many pounds as I would like, I’m gaining muscle and muscle weighs more than fat. Don’t know if this is true or not but he’s such a sweetie just for saying it. This, of course, is just one of the reasons why I love this man so much – he’s my biggest fan and he’s so supportive and encouraging.



So fellow Sparkers, I continue on my journey of getting healthier and losing weight and learning so much more along the way. Thx for being here; I really appreciate it.
